Other required documents, such as official AP/IB exam scores and IGETC Certification, are due by July 15. Due to the school calendar, the University of California recognizes that some high schools, colleges/universities, and districts will be unable to meet the July 1 deadline. All UC campuses will allow additional time for the receipt of required transcripts, and will not disadvantage students due to the inability of the school to meet this deadline
