After submitting your UC application

In December, you will receive an email from Undergraduate Admissions confirming that your application was successfully filed. Messages regarding your admission status will be sent to the address that you listed on your application. While you wait for your admission decision, use the following checklist of next steps.

  • Make changes or update your information in MyAdmissions, including a change of school, courses that you've added or dropped or failure to earn a C or better in a course. Transfer students are required to update their grades and course records. You must provide your final grades from the previous term and list all courses in progress or planned via the Transfer Academic Update by January 30. 
  • Check the freshman or transfer dates and deadlines for information about admission notifications, financial aid, reporting test scores and submitting your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) should you be admitted to UC Davis.
  • Check your admission status at MyAdmissions in mid-March for freshmen or mid–late April for transfer students to see if you've been admitted to UC Davis.
  • Check your email address listed on your UC application and add us to your address book to avoid having important information sent to your junk folders. Applicants will be notified by email regarding application and admission status.
