UC Schools: First-year admission updates and resources
Admission decision season is here! Some campuses have begun notifying first-year/freshman applicants of their admission status, while others plan to contact students later this month. Transfer applicants will learn of their admission status starting this month through late April.
For more information on the enrollment process for first-years, including campus-specific information, reference the following two resources:
The transfer-specific documents will be available in next month's bulletin.
 

Accepting a UC offer of admission

Students can accept an admission offer by agreeing to the provisions/conditions outlined in the offer and submitting their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) with a deposit of $250 to reserve their space at a campus. Some important things to keep in mind about accepting a UC admission offer:
  • Students can accept only one admission offer from one UC campus.
  • The SIR deposit is applied to the student's first enrollment term tuition.
  • Students who qualified for the UC application fee waiver may also qualify to defer their SIR deposit until financial aid is disbursed.
  • The SIR deposit is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
  • Further documentation regarding residency status for tuition determination purposes may be required if the Systemwide Statement of Legal Residence (SSLR) was not previously submitted. View the January 2025 newsletter for more information about the new systemwide residency determination form.
The deadline to submit a SIR is May 1 for first-year applicants and June 1 for transfer applicants.
