Admission Checklist

This checklist is available here, as a PDF file.

■ 1. Apply via the Internet at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/apply. You can also download a printable copy of the application at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/download.html. You may request a mailed copy of the UC application for undergraduate admission and scholarships. E-mail your request to ucinfo@application.net and include your name, address, the term for which you’re applying, and your planned applicant status (freshman or transfer).

■ 2. Complete the application, the personal statement, and list the college and major you prefer. You may pay the application fee online. If you apply with the paper application, attach a check or money order to cover the application fees with your application materials. Mail the application materials and fee during the priority filing period for the quarter in which you are interested; do not attach any other documents.

■ 3. Keep a copy of your application and personal statement.

■ 4. Keep the notices you receive from both the UC Undergraduate Application Processing Service and the Undergraduate Admissions office, including those received by e-mail.

■ 5. If you are applying from high school, do not send a preliminary transcript unless asked to do so by Undergraduate Admissions. Please arrange to have official test scores forwarded by the testing agency. If you are applying as a transfer student, arrange to have all official college or university transcripts sent to each UC campus to which you applied.

■ 6. High school applicants for the fall quarter should take the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test (critical reading, mathematics and writing). In addition, all applicants must complete two SAT Subject Tests in two different subject areas: history/social science, English literature, mathematics, laboratory science or language other than English. All exams must be taken no later than December of the year before you plan to enroll at UC Davis. We strongly encourage you to complete these tests before or on the November test date.

■7. Undergraduate Admissions may request additional information, such as official transcripts, or confirmation of work in progress. Send this information right away so your application can be evaluated without delay. Your eligibility for admission cannot be evaluated until all your application materials are received; i.e., completed application form, filing fee, essay, official transcripts (if required), work in progress, and test scores (if required).

■ 8. If you are admitted, keep your admission letter for your records.

■ 9. Use MyAdmissions at http://myadmissions.ucdavis.edu to check your admission status to UC Davis. If you have been admitted, declare your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR), check your financial aid and scholarship status, and pay your nonrefundable advance deposit of $100 (if required). Sign up for an e-mail account, complete your “Statement of Legal Residence” (SLR) form, Hepatitis B Immunization Statement form (if applicable), and other required forms. Once you complete these forms, you will be able to complete registration and obtain housing. You will also be linked to information regarding the UC student health insurance requirement.
