Reminder for Students Transferring to a UC

After applying to a University of California (UC) college, transfer students are required to update their grades and course records. Students must provide final grades from the previous term and list all courses in progress or planned for all terms before they can enroll. Updated grades and course records ensure that UC campuses have the most current academic information available when they review student applications.

Even if the application was submitted with a complete record of course grades (no in-progress or planned courses), students must log in to their application and complete the Transfer Academic Update.

If a course is dropped, a student fails to earn a C or better, or enrolls in a new college after submission of an application; log back in and update your information using the Transfer Academic Update (TAU). If an offer of admission is received, confirm the deficient grade and/or schedule change with the campus Admissions office.

Important Reminder: January 31, 2026 Deadline

It is important to submit the TAU by the priority deadline of January 31, 2026 so that the campus has an updated academic information when reviewing a student's UC application. To avoid confusion or delays in processing, complete the TAU by the priority deadline and avoid submitting multiple updates. There is no guarantee that a campus will go back to review an application if an additional TAU has been received after the priority deadline.
