Submission of Documents for Admitted Students


Transfer students admitted for fall must submit the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) by June 1.


Transfer students who accept an offer of admission MUST SUBMIT transcripts from ALL colleges/universities attended and for ALL coursework attempted.


Transcripts, Exam Scores and IGETC


  • Final, official transcripts/academic records from every institution attended must be submitted to the campus where the student plans to enroll by July 1, or, for quarter-system schools, as soon as final spring grades are posted.   


  • All UC campuses strongly encourage all official transcripts to be submitted electronically from an acceptable electronic transcript vendor.


  • High schools and colleges that are unable to submit transcripts electronically may send official, sealed transcripts (hard copy) directly to the campus through a mail delivery service.


  • Emailed transcripts are neither allowed nor accepted.


  • Official AP/IB/A-level exam scores must be postmarked or delivered electronically by July 15, or as soon as the results are available.


  • Full or partial UC IGETC certification must be postmarked or delivered electronically by July 15, either posted directly to the official transcript or as a separate document.


All UC campuses highly recommend that UC IGETC certification be sent electronically as a notation on the transcript or as a hard copy through a mail delivery service.


Delivery of IGETC by any method other than that preferred by the campus may result in processing delays.
