WAITLISTS @ THE UC All campuses, except Merced, typically offer transfer waitlists for select majors. You can accept waitlist offers from multiple campuses, but you can only accept one offer of admission. Even if you accept a waitlist offer at a UC campus, you should submit a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) to ensure you have a place to attend in the fall. The $250 SIR fee will not transfer if you decide to choose a different campus after submitting the SIR Make sure you provide additional, new information on your waitlist request such as new accomplishments & recognitions.
FINANCES & AID Review your financial aid awards carefully. Make a budget! Use the Net Cost Calculator for a projection of how much you will be paying out of pocket. If your and/or your family’s income has decreased and/or expenses have increased, contact the universities and discuss a possibly re-evaluation of your need and consequently, your award. Continue to research & apply for scholarships Remember to renew your FAFSA or CA Dream Act each year by no later than March 2.
