I've applied and am waiting for a decision

Here's what you can expect.

Do you need to change information on your application? Link to the form you need below, depending on whether you're applying as a freshman or transfer student.


For freshmen

Freshmen applicants must use the Freshman Academic Update Notification form to notify UC San Diego of any of the following:

  • changes to planned coursework in "a–g" courses for senior year
  • unsatisfactory grades such as a D or F received during senior year of high school
  • senior year weighted GPA falling below 3.0
  • failure to meet the terms of the provisional contract after being offered admission as a freshman

For transfer students

Transfer applicants are required to update grades and course records:

  • provide your final grades from the previous term
  • list all courses in progress or planned for the term before you expect to enroll

Between January 9 and January 31, you can use the UC Transfer Application Academic Update form.

After February 1, notify UC San Diego of any changes to courses reported on your application as planned or in progress with this Transfer Academic Update Notification form.

What documents should I send now?

Nothing! You're done!
Now that you've submitted your UC application, we have everything necessary for evaluation.

In fact, it's important not to send additional documentation. Why?

  • Reason #1 — It won't help your application.
  • • Actually, that's the only reason. Seriously, if you send transcripts, letters of recommendation, 6th or 7th semester grades, or any other supplemental documents, they're just not part of what we review.
  • • So, don't waste your time or your school's time, and save paper and postage!
  • • What do we review?
  • Check the evaluation process for freshmen applicants and the UC guidelines for transfer applicants.

The Student Voice

UCSD student AnthonyWhy did I choose UC San Diego?

  • "One of my goals coming in as a transfer was to try to meet new people, to expand my social network. The administration at my college invited me to a workshop for leadership training. If it weren't for those people, I would definitely be a lot more reserved and not as outgoing as I am now."
  • I'm Anthony, from San Diego
  • Majors: Management Science/Economics
