UC Admissions Policy
he University of Californias undergraduate admissions policy is guided by a commitment to serve the people of California and the needs of the state, within the framework of the California Master Plan for Higher Education. The Master Plan requires that the top oneeighth of the states high school graduates, as well as those transfer students who have successfully completed specified college work, be eligible for admission to the University of California. UC has designed its admissions requirements to ensure that all eligible students are adequately prepared for University-level work. The University of California is committed to assembling, on each campus, a student body that both meets UCs high academic standards and encompasses and reflects our states cultural, racial, geographic, economic and social diversity.
were admitted for fall 2010 are summarized beginning on page 27. These figures are meant to illustrate the relative selectivity of the campuses; they are not a means of predicting whether a student will be accepted to a particular campus and program. Admission to some campuses may be significantly more competitive for fall 2011. For questions about specific UC campus admissions policies, selection criteria and the level of competition for admission to particular campuses and programs, it is best to contact the campus admissions office directly.
choice of major
Most University campuses offer a full range of undergraduate majors in the humanities, sciences, social sciences and engineering. Each campuss undergraduate degree programs are listed beginning on page 66. Students need to select majors carefully, keeping in mind that admission to programs such as engineering, computer science and business administration is very competitive at some campuses. Each UC campuss General Catalog is an excellent source of information about the majors. Catalogs provide detailed descriptions of lower-division prerequisites, required courses and their content, and the emphasis of each major (e.g., preparation for graduate study or for entry into a career or profession). Catalogs are available online; see the UC Directory beginning on page 75. Transfer students also should consult the Transfer Preparation Paths at uctransfer. universityofcalifornia.edu, where they will find information on major-preparation requirements for the most popular UC majors. High school students who have not yet decided on a major should be advised that they may apply to particular colleges at all campuses with an undecided, undeclared or exploratory major. Transfer students should check with specific campus admissions offices about applying undeclared.
The Counselors Role

Counselors can provide invaluable guidance as students plan and prepare for their University education, particularly in choosing a campus and when their goal is acceptance to highly competitive programs. Students should begin early to research their choice of undergraduate major and UC campus. These choices will be among the most important life decisions they will ever make.
admission selection
Often, the number of qualified applicants exceeds the spaces available for a particular campus; in this case, the campus uses criteria that exceed the minimum requirements to select students. Meeting the minimum requirements, therefore, is not enough to gain admission to many UC campuses and programs. Academic achievement and promise, as well as potential to contribute to the educational environment and intellectual vitality of the campus, are among the criteria campuses use in selection. Because the level of competition for admission to certain campuses and programs is very high, students should take a broader view and consider applying to more than one campus and to programs that, while not their first choice, will allow them to fulfill their educational goals. Selection criteria for freshman applicants are described on page 26; those for transfer applicants are on page 36. Measuring a students qualifications against these criteria is not a way to predict whether he or she will be accepted to a particular campus or program; they are presented to help counselors better understand the Universitys selection process. The level of performance needed to gain admission to particular campuses and programs varies from year to year, and depends on the number of qualified applicants and the number of available spaces. To give counselors some idea of the competition for admission at each campus, the academic qualifications of freshmen who
choice of campus
All UC campuses have distinguished faculty, excellent libraries and research facilities, and high academic standards; all attract the most accomplished students in California. But students should also know that each University campus has its own distinctive character and atmosphere, and that the best fit may be a campus they initially knew little about. Most prospective students are familiar with only one or two UC campuses, usually those nearest their homes or mentioned most frequently in the news. They should be encouraged to explore the opportunities offered by all the UC campuses to ensure they dont overlook the one that may best suit their individual needs. Students can begin their research by visiting campus websites and ordering the General Catalogs of the campuses they are interested in. The websites and catalogs provide detailed descriptions of undergraduate programs and individual courses and contain a wealth of information about student life. If at all possible, students should arrange to visit the campus. Another source of information about any of the Universitys campuses is the nearest relations with schools office, which welcomes questions from prospective students. For campus contact information, see the UC Directory beginning on page 75.

Senior-Year Program Reading Writing Mathematics Laboratory Science
High School Preparation for University Work

Carefully planned high school coursework provides students with the best preparation for their undergraduate University studies, and allows for advanced preparation for their chosen field of study. Most important, students who master certain basic knowledge and skills in high school substantially increase their chances of success at the University. The basic foundation of UC eligibility is the completion of the high school courses required for admission (see Subject Requirement on page 4). However, students should be advised to take courses beyond the minimum levels in reading, writing and mathematics in order to be adequately prepared for basic University courses that they may be expected to take in the freshman year. A well-prepared student will have mastered the equivalent of four years of English composition and literature with a focus on expository writing; four years of mathematics, including a precalculus course in the senior year; two to three years of language other than English; two to three years of laboratory science; two or more years of history and social sciences; and one or more years of visual and performing arts. Students should also give careful thought to the general field of study, and perhaps the specific major, they want to pursue at the University. By making this decision in advance, they can plan to take additional courses in high school related to the field. senior-Year program The senior year should be used to prepare students for their first year at the University and should include honors and advanced courses, as well as courses that will strengthen overall preparation. A challenging, successfully completed senior-year program is a natural bridge between high school and University coursework in the intended major. A strong senior program will also strengthen a students chances for admission to the campus and program of choice.
material including literature, biography, nonfiction and criticism in addition to what they are required to read in class.
Writing
Prospective students must learn to write clearly and skillfully in English and to think critically and analyze what they learn in class and in their reading, so that they can present their ideas in an organized and persuasive manner. University students proficient in composition must be able to understand the assigned topic, select and develop a theme by argument and example, use words and sentences clearly and precisely, demonstrate an understanding of the rules of standard English, and punctuate and spell correctly.

Mathematics
A number of fields of study require preparation in mathematics beyond the three years required for University admission. All majors in engineering and the physical, mathematical and life sciences include courses in calculus, as do programs leading to professional degrees in medicine, dentistry, optometry and pharmacy. Many majors in the social sciences, business and agriculture require statistics and/or calculus. The recommended four years of high school mathematics should include basic operations with numerical and algebraic functions; operations with exponents and radicals; linear equations and inequalities; polynomials and polynomial equations; functions and their graphs; trigonometry, logarithms and exponential functions; and applications and word problems. Most UC students take calculus or statistics, if required, during the freshman year. Students who are not prepared to do so will have to take one or more preparatory mathematics courses at the University.
Laboratory Science
The University requires two years of laboratory science in high school, but many majors require more. Programs in the biological sciences and some natural resource fields require high school biology, chemistry and physics. Programs in the physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, agriculture and the health sciences require chemistry and physics, and recommend biology.

Minimum Admission Requirements for Freshman Applicants

The University defines freshman applicants as students who have graduated from high school and who have not enrolled in a regular session at any college or university following graduation. Students must graduate from an accredited high school or be eligible by examination. Students who attend a college summer session immediately after graduating from high school are considered freshman applicants. California-resident freshman applicants can become qualified in three ways: In the Statewide Context Students must complete specific coursework (or the equivalent) and college admissions tests, earning the required GPA and test scores; In the Local Context Students must be identified by the University as being in the top 4 percent of their graduating class at participating high schools; By Examination Alone Students must achieve specified minimum scores on college admissions tests. Regardless of which path applicants take, they must meet minimum requirements detailed in the following pages no later than the date of high school graduation. Keep in mind that competitive campuses and programs look for applicants who exceed the minimum requirements when selecting students. Nonresidents: For information about minimum admission requirements for nonresidents, see page 12. Changes to freshman admission policy for 201213 are detailed on page 10.
Qualifying in the Statewide Context

Qualification in the statewide context is the path by which most students enter the University. To qualify this way, students must satisfy the Subject, Examination and Scholarship requirements described on the following pages.
subject requirement
The intent of the Subject Requirement is to ensure that students can participate fully in the first-year program at the University in a wide variety of fields of study. The requirements are written for the benefit of all students expecting to enter the University, and not for the preparation for specific majors.
a-G high school courses Most students satisfy the Subject Requirement by completing 15 yearlong high school courses. Seven of the courses must be taken (or validated) in the last two years of high school. (For a complete list of the a-g course requirements and other options for satisfying the Subject Requirement, see pages 6-7.) To be accepted by the University, courses taken at a California high school to satisfy the Subject Requirement (a-g courses) must appear on that schools official UC-certified course list for the year the student took the course. Course titles or transcript abbreviations must appear on the students transcripts as they appear on the UC-certified course list. Searchable UC-certified course lists are available at https://doorways.ucop.edu/list. A schools a-g courses must be academically challenging, involving substantial reading and writing to a degree appropriate to the course and subject matter. Courses must include problems and laboratory work, as appropriate. Courses used to satisfy a-g requirements must require students to think analytically as well as to master factual content. These courses should also develop students oral and listening skills. Interdisciplinary, integrated programs may be applied to more than one area of the Subject Requirement. For example, an integrated humanities program may satisfy part of the a (history/social science) requirement and part of the b (English) requirement. For more information about a-g courses, see www.ucop.edu/doorways/guide. History/Social Science (a): A wide variety of courses may be used to satisfy the one year of world history, cultures and geography. Courses need not be strictly limited to the topics in the subject area, nor do they need to cover every culture or period in the history of mankind. A suitable course could be an in-depth study of a single culture, such as a yearlong study of Chinese civilization. Alternatively, several cultures might be studied and compared, as in more traditional world history, culture and geography courses. An important element of appropriate courses is that the focus be outside the United States and, whenever possible, away from cultures very similar to our own, e.g., England and Canada. U.S. history courses may present and analyze historical events and movements with a particular focus, such as gender and family in American life or science and technology in American society. Courses should cover the full span of American history and avoid isolating particular groups from the
larger society of which they are a part. English (b): All English courses must require extensive reading of a variety of literary genres, including classical and/or contemporary works. Students must demonstrate understanding of rhetorical, grammatical and syntactical patterns, forms and structures while responding to texts of varying lengths in unassisted writing assignments. Courses that are appropriate for the final years of high school study should demand a substantially higher level of the requirements and skills outlined above. Courses in creative writing, speech or debate do not normally satisfy the b requirement but may meet the g requirement. For expected competencies in English at the time of high school graduation, refer to the Entry-Level Writing Requirement website (www.ucop.edu/elwr), which details writing standards and provides examples of acceptable freshman-level scored essays. In addition, refer to the Academic Senates Academic Literacy: A Statement on Competencies Expected of Entering Students to Californias Public Colleges and Universities (Spring 2002), available at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ senate/reports/acadlit.pdf. ELD Courses: English Language Development ( ELD ) courses may be acceptable for a maximum of one year (two semesters), provided they are advanced college-preparatory courses with strong emphasis on reading and writing. Such courses must deal specifically with rhetorical, grammatical and syntactical forms in English especially those that show cross-linguistic influence and must provide explicit work in vocabulary development. Mathematics (c): The goal of the math requirement is to ensure that freshmen are adequately prepared to undertake universitylevel study. Area c courses recognize the hierarchical nature of mathematics, and advanced courses should demonstrate grown in depth and complexity, both in mathematical maturity and in topical organization. Although many schools follow the Algebra 1 Geometry Algebra II format, other sequences may treat these topics in an integrated fashion, such as the Interactive Math Program (IMP). Combinations of IMP, algebra, geometry and other courses can also satisfy the c requirement. A mathematics course (e.g., algebra) taken over three or four semesters is acceptable; it will earn credit for only one year (two semesters) of work. For expected competencies at the time of graduation from high school, refer to the Statement on Competencies in Mathematics
Expected of Entering College Students, available at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ senate/reports/mathcomp.html. Laboratory Science (d): Students should select courses that represent two of the three foundational subjects of biology/life science, chemistry and physics. For example, a student who takes only biology and physiology, or biology and marine biology, would not meet the d requirement. The last two years of a three-year sequence in integrated science, where rigorous coverage of at least two of the foundational subjects is provided, satisfy this requirement. If the last year of the three-year sequence is not offered by the school, a student may complete the requirement by taking a course in biology, chemistry or physics. Language Other Than English (e): The minimum performance objectives of two years of high school study of a language other than English should include: The ability to sustain a brief conversation on simple everyday topics, demonstrating good use of the whole sound system (and pronunciation) and of the basic structural patterns in past, present and future tenses, subjunctive and commands, and The ability to summarize, orally and in writing, the main points of a relatively simple reading passage not involving specialized vocabulary. Emphasis should not be on the ability to describe grammatical features of the language. Generally, a bilingual student is considered to have met the e requirement and may choose not to enroll in courses in a language other than English. Such students may be better served by enrolling in additional electives or, if their English is limited, English as a Second Language. Students who elect not to take courses in a language other than English must satisfy the e requirement by one of the methods listed on page 7 or document competence in a language other than English as explained on page 8. Visual and Performing Arts (f): Students must satisfy the f requirement by completing a single yearlong course from a single visual and performing arts (VPA) discipline. Students may take the course over different academic years, but the course must be taken in sequential order. Courses should provide students with a meaningful experience and breadth of knowledge so that they may apply their knowledge and experience to the creation of art and are better able to understand and appreciate artistic expression on the basis of that experience and knowledge. Work outside of class is required:

university work. Students are expected to engage in substantial reading and writing, and consistently apply critical thinking, analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills. The subject-specific guidelines include: Career Technical Education (CTE): CTE courses may be approved in all subject areas. For more information, see www.ucop. edu/a-gGuide/ag/cte. Acceptable elective courses connect academic knowledge with practical or work-related applications. Such courses must: Provide high-quality, challenging curricula that use and advance the concepts and skills of the a-f subject areas, Integrate academic knowledge with technical and occupational knowledge, and Include tasks that are rich in opportunities to develop knowledge of tools, processes and materials, engage in problem-solving and decision-making, and explain what one is doing and why. A CTE elective course should require at least one prerequisite or co-requisite, or be an advanced course designed for the 11th or 12th grades. Courses may emphasize academic concepts using career-related applications to make ideas accessible to students. Conversely, these courses may use career and technical applications to provide an entry point for understanding theoretical or technical aspects of an academic discipline. A CTE course may include relevant
applications of academic content outside the classroom through work-based learning, challenging hands-on projects, service learning and/or project-based learning that connect with the academic curriculum. In addition to unit exams, midterm and final exams, reports, and culminating projects that may include both an oral presentation and a written report, CTE courses may employ alternative assessments, such as completed products and/ or project exhibitions. Advanced Mathematics: Acceptable electives are courses in mathematics with second-year algebra as a prerequisite, such as trigonometry, linear algebra, precalculus (analytic geometry and mathematical analysis), calculus, and probability and statistics. Computer Science: A computer science course is acceptable if it fulfills the following objectives: teaches students to express algorithms in a standard computer language, requires students to complete substantial programming projects and involves the study and mastery of various aspects of computer architecture. English: Courses must require substantial reading with frequent and extensive practice in writing that is carefully evaluated and criticized. Courses in journalism, speech and debate are acceptable electives if they meet these general requirements in reading and writing. Semester-long courses, such as creative writing, poetry, mythology and others also may be accepted. Courses may be multidis-
ciplinary, drawing knowledge from two or more disciplines, such as Fiction and Film, Ecoliteracy, Literature and World Religions. History: Courses should require extensive reading and writing, and enable students to establish a breadth of understanding of history (e.g., world history, political history or economic history) and should provide an understanding of the human past, including its relation to the present. Courses should develop a students ability to think critically, evaluate historical data, and analyze and synthesize evidence. Laboratory Science: In this subject area only, ninth- and 10th-grade courses are often accepted as electives. Courses must cover topics from the biological, earth or physical sciences and include laboratory and/or field activities. Advanced 11th- and 12th-grade courses must provide opportunities for students to extend their understanding of basic science through focused courses in areas such as agricultural science, astronomy, biotechnology, environmental science, medical arts and veterinary science. A terminal course designed only to meet graduation requirements is not an acceptable science elective. Languages Other Than English (LOTE) : If students take as an elective the same language used to satisfy the LOTE requirement, the elective course must have the equivalent of two years of the language as a prerequisite. Students also may present a second language other than English but must complete the

method guidance documentation
Formal schooling in a Language other than english
Students who have completed two years of formal instruction in a school where a language other than English was used as a medium of instruction beginning in grade six or later have met the LOTE requirement. Consecutive enrollment is not required. Most language departments at universities will conduct an assessment and issue a statement of competency on official letterhead, which would serve as certification. Search university websites to learn if they have a department in that area and contact them by phone to request an appointment to have an assessment conducted. Principals should develop and maintain clear standards for providing this certification. Certification should be based on the judgment of language teachers, advice of professional or cultural organizations with an interest in maintaining language proficiency, or other appropriate source of expertise. Language placement examinations or other similar assessments may be used.
School transcript or other official document
assessment by a University
For ELC, the Notes section of the high school transcript can show the assessment of proficiency level. (Example: Competency in Portuguese equivalent to two years of college-prep Portuguese certified by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Berkeley on March 12, 2009.)
Certification by High school Principal
For ELC, the Notes section of the high school transcript can show the principals certification of competency with the language and proficiency level. (Example: Competency in Spanish equivalent to two years of college-prep Spanish certified by Principal Jones on March 12, 2009.) If level is not given, only one year credit will be granted.
equivalent of the second year of the language in order to fulfill the elective requirement. Social Science: Courses must be in one of the social sciences: anthropology, economics, geography, political science, psychology or sociology. Courses may be interdisciplinary in nature, drawing knowledge from two or more of these fields, such as Latin American studies, African American economics and comparative world religions. Course objectives should include as many of the following as are applicable to the field: An understanding of the development and basic features of major societies and cultures, An examination of the historic and contemporary ideas that have shaped our world, An understanding of the fundamentals of how differing political and economic systems function, An examination of the nature and principles of individual and group behavior, Study of social science methodologies, and Comparison of cultures and perspectives. To develop a students ability to think critically, evaluate ideas and information, and analyze and synthesize qualitative and quantitative evidence (in the laboratory and in the field), a social science course must include a body of basic knowledge, extensive reading, and written and oral exposition. Courses designed to meet state-mandated social studies graduation requirements are acceptable, provided that they meet the above criteria. Courses with applied, service or career-related content are acceptable if those components augment the strong academic content of the course. Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) : Advanced VPA courses can be considered to meet the g requirement, but must still address the five strands of the VPA standards. (see Visual and Performing Arts (f ), page 5.) Advanced courses should enable students to understand and appreciate artistic expression and, where appropriate, to talk and write with discrimi nation about the material studied. Courses devoted to artistic performance and developing creative artistic ability should have prerequisites (either one year of introductory coursework or experience approved by the instructor) and should assume proficiency beyond the introductory level. Courses must require on average the equivalent of a fiveperiod class per week. Outside work must be required (e.g., portfolio/performance preparation, reading, writing, research projects
and critical listening/viewing). Advanced

VPA courses that are a semester in length
will only be considered for the g elective area, not the f VPA area. honors-level courses To encourage students to undertake more challenging work at the advanced secondary level, the University assigns extra weight to grades received in honors-level courses. The University uses a very specific and narrow definition of honorslevel work, which often differs from those of honors programs offered by high schools. Acceptable UC-certified honors courses are specialized, college-level courses, such as those offered through the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) programs, normally offered to students in grades 11 and 12. The University does not certify ninth- and 10th-grade-level courses as honors courses because they do not meet these requirements. In general, the University expects students to complete core courses before undertaking college-level work. UC therefore limits the number of courses that may be certified as honors-level at each school and limits the amount of credit students may accrue for completion of certified honors-level work. Most students complete UC-certified honors-level work in grades 11 and 12, although some advanced students may be able to complete these courses as early as grade 10. The University limits the amount of UC-certified honors credit students may receive for work completed in grade 10 to no more than two units (four semesters). Guidelines on the Certification of High School Honors-Level Courses: High school courses should be included on the certified course list as honors-level courses if they are Advanced Placement (AP) courses, if they are designated International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, or if they have been approved as honors-level courses. Honors-level courses must satisfy one or more of the following requirements: A high school course that is not an AP or IB course shall be designated an honorslevel course only when there is a regular course offered in the same subject area at the same grade level. Exceptions include calculus and courses in languages other than English at the fourth-year level and beyond. Exceptions to this rule require strong justification and documentation. Honors-level courses must have established prerequisites and must be open only to students fulfilling those prerequisites. Such prerequisites must specify
either courses that are required or appropriate performance levels. Honors-level courses must have distinctive features in terms of extended content and additional workload that set them apart from regular high school courses in the same subject. Honors-level courses must have comprehensive written final examinations. High schools may submit not more than one unit in each of the following subject areas: history, English, advanced mathematics, each laboratory science, each language other than English, and each discipline of the visual and performing arts. If there are no AP or IB courses in a given subject area, the high school may submit not more than two units at the honors level in that area. Exceptions to this rule require strong justification and documentation. more about the subject requirement Seventh- and Eighth-Grade Courses: Courses in mathematics and languages other than English completed in the seventh and eighth grades with grades of at least C may be counted toward the Subject Requirement. The principal of the high school from which a student graduates must certify that the seventhand eighth-grade courses are comparable in content to those offered at the high school. This may be done by including the names of, units granted for and grades for these courses on the students transcript. Typically, middle school coursework is validated by higher-level coursework completed at the high school level. Sheltered/ SdAIE Courses: Sheltered/ Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English ( SDAIE ) courses may be used to satisfy all areas of the Subject Requirement except the Language Other Than English (e) requirement. Acceptable sheltered/ SDAIE courses must be equivalent in content and skills to comparable courses taught in the same subject area in English. For example, to be certified to meet the mathematics (c) requirement, Sheltered Algebra must be equivalent to Algebra 1. High School Summer Session Courses: Courses taken in high school summer sessions may be used to meet the Subject and Scholarship requirements if they are certified by the principal as equivalent to a-g courses taken during the regular academic year. Online Courses: At press time, the University had approved the following online providers: APEX Learning Virtual School Brigham Young University Independent Study Connections Academy
freshman admission requirements for 2012-13

Effective for the fall 2012 entering class, UCs freshman admission requirements are changing. The UC Board of Regents adopted the new policy in February 2009 to give more high-achieving students the chance to apply to the University and receive a full review of their applications. Eleven of the 15 required courses must be completed by the end of 11th grade in order for applicants to receive a review of their application. No particular course pattern is required to apply for admission. Courses completed in the summer after 11th grade will be counted. To be considered for a guarantee in the local context, students must complete 11 specific yearlong courses by the end of junior year (including summer): one year of history/social science, two years of English, two years of mathematics, one year of laboratory science, one year of language other than English and four courses selected from among the a-g subject requirements. All applicants should be reminded that admission to the University of California is competitive, and most applicants present more than the minimum requirements when applying for admission. For example, students who were offered admission for the fall 2010 term completed, on average, 23 yearlong courses, or nearly six academic courses per year. Freshman applicants deemed to be in one of these groups who are not admitted to any campus where they apply will be offered admission at a campus with available space. Students must complete the Universitys course and test-taking requirements by the end of their senior year in high school to be considered fully qualified to enroll. statewide context To determine whether California students rank in the top 9 percent statewide, the University uses an admissions index. See www.universityof california.edu/admissions/undergrad_ adm/ paths_ to_ adm/freshman2012/admissions index.html. local context The University will identify the top 9 percent of students in each participating high school on the basis of GPA for all UC-approved coursework completed in grades 10 and 11. Students must submit UCs undergraduate application during the filing period and complete remaining requirements as noted above. At press time, it had not been determined which campuses, if any, will guarantee admission to all students in this group who apply.
policY hiGhliGhts
Under the new policy, all California-resident freshman applicants will receive a full review of their applications if they: Complete 15 UC-required collegepreparatory (a-g) courses, with 11 of those done by the end of 11th grade, Maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better (weighted by a maximum of eight honors/AP bonus points) in these courses, and Take the ACT with Writing or SAT Reasoning Test. In addition, applicants will be guaranteed admission somewhere in the UC system if they: Rank in the top 9 percent of all high school graduates statewide, or Rank in the top 9 percent of their high school graduating class (the local context), as determined by UC. All qualified students, whether receiving the guarantee or not, will have their applications reviewed comprehensively by all UC campuses to which they apply and will compete for available seats. Their qualifications will be assessed using campus-based comprehensive review processes, which emphasize academic achievement but also account for a wide range of personal accomplishments and educational contexts. For more on comprehensive review, see page 26. Because selectivity varies by campus due to the size and academic quality of applicant pools, a students chance for admission will also vary by campus. For this reason, it is important for students to review all of their campus options and choose both carefully and broadly.
sat subject tests

SAT Subject Tests will no longer be required for admission. Students may submit scores if they wish to showcase academic mastery, just as scores on Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate tests show ability and subject mastery. Competitive majors on some campuses may recommend particular SAT Subject Tests to demonstrate subject proficiency. (Details, when they become available, will be posted at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ educators/counselors/adminfo/freshman2012/ advising/admission_reqs.html.) Additionally, Subject Tests still may be used to fulfill a-g subject requirements (see pages 67).
qualifYinG bY examination
Under the new policy, students who qualify for admission by examination will not be guaranteed admission. They will, however, be entitled to a full review of their application. Students who take this path must complete two SAT Subject Tests in two different subject areas. Students must achieve a minimum UC Score Total of 410 and a minimum UC Score of 63 on each component of the ACT or SAT Reasoning Test and on each of two SAT Subject Tests. For instructions on computing the UC Score, see www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ admissions/examonly.
Guaranteed admission
California-resident students whose combined high school GPA and test scores would place them in the top 9 percent of the states public high school graduates will be guaranteed admission to UC, as will students in each participating California high school who are in the top 9 percent of their class at the end of the 11th grade as determined by UC.
nonresident applicants
Nonresident applicants must meet the same requirements as California-resident students but with a minimum GPA of 3.4. Nonresidents are not guaranteed admission.
courseWorK requirements
Freshman applicants will be required to complete a minimum of 15 yearlong a-g courses in grades 912, as they are now. (See page 67 for a complete list of a-g requirements.) Seven of these courses must be taken in the last two years of high school.

Education Program for Gifted Youth Online High School at Stanford University K12, Inc. Laurel Springs Online National University Virtual High School PASS Program/Cyber High UC College Prep Online (UCCP) UC continues to review and approve courses from these providers and hopes to expand this list in the coming year. Based on the Universitys desire to ensure students have access to a broad range of highquality and comprehensive online courses that meet the facultys standards of rigor, UC will continue to recognize online courses that are certified by the high school principal as being comparable to college-preparatory curriculum. These courses, along with associated grades and credits, must be listed on the students transcript. For more information about the online course policy, see www.ucop.edu/a-gGuide/ag/ online_course.html. Note: UC does not accept online courses in the areas of laboratory science (unless a course requires an on-site wet lab component) or VPA. Credit for Courses Not Taken: If a student takes an advanced-level course in a language other than English or mathematics without completing the lower-level course, earning a C or better in the advanced course will validate the missing lower-level course (e.g., a C or better in Spanish 2 validates Spanish 1; a C or better in Algebra 2 validates Algebra 1). College Courses: Appropriate college courses may be used to meet the Subject Requirement. See pages 67.
earlier, to ensure that their application receives prompt and full consideration.
scholarship requirement
The Scholarship Requirement defines the grade point average (GPA) students must attain in the required a-g subjects and the scores they must earn on the SAT Subject Tests and ACT Assessment Plus Writing or SAT Reasoning Test to be eligible for admission to UC. The minimum GPA for California-resident students is 3.0 (for nonresidents, 3.4). To see if a student meets the Scholarship Requirement for fall 2011, use the interactive Preliminary Eligibility Calculator at www. universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/ scholarshipreq). about the Grade point average All campuses use the same method of calculating a preliminary grade point average. UC calculates the GPA based on all a-g subjects completed in grades 10 and 11. This includes summer sessions; the courses taken the summer after the ninth grade are reported with 10th-grade courses, and the courses taken the summer after 11th grade are considered 11th-grade courses. Grades earned for courses completed in the ninth grade are not counted in the GPA if the course was completed with a grade of C or better, however, it can be used to meet the Subject Requirement. To calculate the GPA , point values are assigned to the grades a student earns in these courses, and the total is divided by the number of a-g course units. Points are assigned as follows: A=4 points, B=3 points, C=2 points, D=1 point and F=0 points. Pluses and minuses are not used; for example, a B-plus, a B and a B-minus are each assigned 3 points. The University assigns an extra grade point for each successfully completed semester of a UC-certified honors-level, Advanced Placement and/or designated International Baccalaureate course , and also for transferable college-level courses in the a-g subjects. Students may earn up to eight semesters of honors points. Grades of D are not assigned extra points. A maximum of four semesters of honors courses taken in grade 10 are assigned honors grade points. Honors points will be awarded for honors courses taken in 10th grade only if they have been certified by the University as honors-level courses. See discussion of honors courses on page 9. In addition to the preliminary GPA used for establishing UC qualification, campuses may look at an applicants academic record in a variety of ways during the selection
examination requirement
Freshman applicants must submit the following test scores: The ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test. The critical reading, mathematics and writing scores on the SAT must be from the same sitting. Students who take the ACT must report their scores on each section as well as their composite score, also from a single sitting. Two SAT Subject Tests in two different areas, chosen from the following: history, literature, mathematics (Level 2 only), science or language other than English. (SAT Subject Tests will not be required of students applying for fall 2012; see page 10 for details.) Students applying for admission to the fall term must take these tests no later than December of their senior year, preferably
process. These GPA variations may include a fully weighted GPA that includes all honors grade points earned in grades 10 and 11 (this is the GPA used to rank students at each high school for purposes of identifying ELC students) and an unweighted GPA in which no honors grade points are included. Semester Grades: A students GPA is based on semester grades, unless the high school gives only year grades. Intensive or Accelerated Courses: Grades earned in intensive or accelerated high school courses are treated the same as any other grades on the students transcript. Any instructions or recommendations to the contrary are disregarded. Repeating Courses: Courses used to satisfy the a-g requirements in which the student earns D or F grades must be repeated with grades of C or higher earned. In these cases, the second grades are used in calculating the Scholarship Requirement GPA. Each course in which a grade of D or F has been received may be repeated only once. In a small number of instances, as described below, the D or F may be cleared through other means than repeating the course. If a student repeats a course used to satisfy the a-g requirements in which he or she originally earned a grade of C or higher, the repeated grade will not be used in calculating the Scholarship Requirement GPA . d and F Grades, Pass, Credit and Incompletes General Information: The University uses these rules regarding grades of D, F, Pass, Credit and Incomplete: Courses used to satisfy the a-g requirements taken in the ninth grade or earlier in which D or F grades are earned are treated as subject omissions. As with all ninth-grade courses, such grades are not included when calculating the Scholarship Requirement GPA. Courses used to satisfy the a-g requirements taken for the first time in the 10th12th grades and in which D or F grades are earned are treated as subject omissions and scholarship deficiencies. If the courses are not repeated, the D or F grades are used in calculating the Scholarship Requirement GPA. Courses used to satisfy the a-g requirements in which the student earns an Incomplete are treated as subject omissions. Courses used to satisfy the a-g requirements may not be taken Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit.

d or F Grades in Languages Other Than English and Mathematics Special Rules: In two areas mathematics (c) and language other than English (e) completion of a higher-level course with a C or higher validates an earlier grade of D or F in lowerlevel courses. In mathematics: Algebra II (Intermediate Algebra) validates Algebra I, Trigonometry validates Algebra I, II and Geometry, A yearlong course in Algebra II/Trigonometry validates Algebra I, Algebra II and Geometry. If only the first semester (Algebra II) is completed, it validates only Algebra I, and Statistics validates Algebra I and Algebra II (but not Geometry). In languages other than English: A grade of C or higher in a higher-level course validates a D or an F in a lower-level course in the same language. Please note that validation is not the same as repeating a course to clear the initial D or F grade. If a student uses a higher-level course to validate a lower-level course, both grades are used in calculating the GPA .
science, 3 units of English, 2 units of mathematics, 1 unit of laboratory science, 1 unit of language other than English and 3 units selected from among the other a-g requirements. Please note that students are not required to have completed coursework in visual and performing arts (dance, drama/ theater, music or visual arts) by the end of the junior year to qualify for ELC. With the assistance of each participating high school, the University will identify the top 4 percent of students on the basis of GPA for UC-approved coursework completed in the 10th and 11th grades. The University will notify students evaluated for ELC eligibility of their status at the beginning of their senior year. ELC-identified students must submit the Universitys undergraduate application during the filing period and complete remaining requirements including the Subject and Examination requirements to be considered fully eligible. Fully eligible ELC students are guaranteed a spot at one of UCs undergraduate campuses, though not necessarily at the first-choice campus. ELC website: Additional information about ELC is available on the Universitys ELC website (www.ucop.edu/sas/elc).
High School Proficiency Examination

If a student does not have a high school diploma from an institution with a regional accreditation, the University will accept the Certificate of Proficiency awarded by the State Board of Education upon successful completion of the California High School Proficiency Examination. UC also will accept proficiency examinations from other states, or the General Education Development (GED) Certificate, in place of a diploma. However, a student must still meet the Subject, Scholarship and Examination requirements.
Nonresidents
The University sets slightly different criteria for applicants who are not California residents. Nonresident students are not guaranteed admission to UC, even if they meet the criteria. Freshman applicants will be considered for admission by meeting the requirements described under Qualifying in the Statewide Context (page 4), or Qualifying by Examination (at left), with the following exceptions: Scholarship Requirement: Students must satisfy the Scholarship Requirement with a GPA of 3.4 or above earned along with the UC Score Total indicated in the Eligibility Index under Non-California Residents (see www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/ scholarshipreq). Qualifying by Examination Alone: Students must achieve a UC Score Total of at least 425 and a minimum UC Score of 63 on each component of the ACT or SAT Reasoning Test and on each SAT Subject Test.
proVisional admission
Offers of admission are provisional until the campus receives the students final official transcript and verifies successful completion of all required coursework. In addition, students must have official test scores sent by the testing agency. Both the Subject Requirement and the Examination Requirement must be completed no later than the date of high school graduation. At the end of the 12th grade, campuses verify an applicants qualification for UC based on the final high school record. If any information in the application is found to be incomplete or inaccurate, or if a students performance drops significantly during the senior year, the offer of admission may be revoked. Each campus provides newly admitted students with conditions for admission that must be satisfied prior to enrollment.
Qualifying by Examination
A third path to UC admission is through examination alone. To qualify this way, a student must satisfy the same examination requirement as students who are eligible in the statewide context. Students must achieve a minimum UC Score Total of 410 and a minimum UC Score of 63 on each component of the ACT or SAT Reasoning Test and on each SAT Subject Test. For instructions on computing the UC Score, see www.universityof california.edu/admissions/examonly. Students may not use an SAT Subject Test to meet these requirements if they have taken a transferable college course in that subject. An applicant who is currently attending high school may qualify for admission to the University by examination alone without completing his or her high school program.
Applying to the University

Students may apply to one or more of UCs nine undergraduate campuses using a single application, available at www. universityofcalifornia.edu/apply. (UC San Francisco has its own application and filing procedures.) Not every student can be admitted to his or her first-choice campus. Applying broadly will significantly increase students chances of being admitted to a campus where they can fulfill their educational goals.
Qualifying in the Local Context

Under the Eligibility in the Local Context ( ELC ) pathway, the top 4 percent of students at each participating California high school can be designated UC-eligible. To be considered for ELC , students must complete 11 specific units of the Subject Requirement by the end of the junior year. The 11 units include: 1 unit of history/social
Admission by Exception
Because all students have not had the same opportunities to prepare for higher education, the University also gives special consideration to a limited number of applicants who show potential to succeed at the University even though they do not meet the minimum admission requirements. Contact a campus admissions office for more information.
When to Apply
The University gives first consideration to students who apply during the filing periods

listed in the box at right. Applications are accepted after these periods only if space is available. Most campuses stop accepting applications at the end of the filing period or shortly thereafter. Most majors and programs are open to new students in the fall term. There are fewer openings in the winter and spring terms. Students should check www.universityofcalifornia .edu/admissions/openmajors if they are considering applying to a term other than fall. Fall applicants should make sure all SAT and/or ACT scores are sent to the campuses by the time December test scores are normally reported. Students should not send transcripts when applying; transcripts are requested after admission is offered. A students application will be sent to the campuses he or she designates, and all designated campuses will consider it simultaneously. Students may apply to different majors at different campuses.

The application fee is $60 for each campus a student selects. The application fee is not refundable and is subject to change. International and Nonimmigrant Students: Applicants must pay a higher application fee of $70 for each campus selected. However, students who meet any of the following conditions qualify to pay the lower application fee of $60 per campus: Have lived in California for at least the last 12 months, Are under 18 and have a parent or legal guardian living in California, Have a parent, legal guardian or spouse who is an employee of UC, or Currently attend a California high school or college or have attended one for two or more years. Fee Waivers: The University will waive application fees for up to four campuses for students who otherwise would not be able to apply for admission. Students who qualify for fee waivers and who select more than four campuses must pay $60 for each additional choice. To be accepted for the fee waiver program, a students family income and size must fall within specific guidelines. Students can apply automatically for a fee waiver within the online application.
Reporting Student Data

Freshman applicants are asked to provide detailed information concerning high school coursework and grades in the Academic History section of the application. Admissions
offices use this record to conduct initial evaluations of students academic records and to make preliminary offers of admission. (A formal evaluation of an applicants basic qualification for admission is made after admission, when official transcripts are presented.) It is important that applicants complete the Academic History thoroughly and accurately. Students should use grade reports, transcripts and the high schools UC-certified course list; they should not work from memory. Any information that changes after the application is submitted should be reported immediately to the admissions office at each campus to which the student has applied. Applicants should be reminded that the information on the record will be verified following receipt of the official high school transcript and required test scores. If the University finds any information to be incomplete or inaccurate, the students admission to or enrollment in the University may be jeopardized. In addition to the post-admission verification, the University conducts a preadmission verification with a random sample of applicants, who are notified in early January that they must submit verification documents in order to be considered for admission. Applicants may be asked to verify an item from one of the following application sections: Awards/Honors, Extracurricular Activities, Community Service, Educational Preparation Programs, Work Experience, Academic History and the Personal Statement. Falsification is the basis for a denial or revocation of admission to the University. Failure to submit the required documentation by the deadline will result in applications being withdrawn from further admission consideration at all campuses. report all academic courses Students must report all academic courses completed in grades 9, 10 and 11; all academic courses in progress and planned for grade 12; any math
or English college course and any transferable college/university courses completed, in progress or planned. Complete course titles must be used. California students can enter their coursework in the online application directly from their schools UC-certified course list. Grades 9, 10 and 11 All grades for all academic courses completed in grades 9, 10 and 11 must be reported. If a course is repeated, both the initial and repeated course and grades earned for both must be shown. Grades earned in the ninth grade will not be used in the GpA calculation for admission purposes. uc-certified honors courses Only courses designated as UC-certified honors courses on the schools official UC-certified course list may be listed as honors. UC-certified honors courses are starred on the list. See page 9 for information about how UC defines and certifies honors courses. A list of IB courses approved for honors status can be found on the Web (doorways.ucop.edu/list); search for International Baccalaureate. courses taken outside the united states If part or all of a students high school education took place outside the United States, the student should complete the Academic History as thoroughly as possible. UCs international admissions specialists are knowledgeable about different grading systems and methods of reporting coursework in other countries. The student should report grades earned outside the United States exactly as given by his or her school as numbers, letters, percentages or words.

he University welcomes transfer students. It has worked hard to strengthen relationships with Californias community colleges and to develop programs to help community college students with the transfer process. In 2010, more than 80 percent of admitted transfer students came to UC from California community colleges. The transfer path to UC has never been easier to follow. To transfer to the University, a student must take three steps: become eligible for admission, prepare for upper-division study in the chosen major, and complete an appropriate set of general-education course requirements and electives.
Planning to Transfer
Prospective transfer applicants should plan their coursework carefully. Their courses should help them meet the minimum admission requirements for transfer (see page 15). They also should select courses that prepare them for upper-division study in their major or fulfill recommended general education requirements. All courses students take to meet University requirements must be transferable. Many prospective transfer students know which UC campus and program they wish to attend and have a general knowledge of University requirements. They also must research the specific requirements of their intended major and campus and the community college courses that are approved to meet these requirements. Along with uctransfer.universityofcalifornia. edu, other sources of information helpful to prospective transfer students include UCs admissions website (www.universityofcalifornia. edu/admissions), campus General Catalogs, which can be found on the campus websites, and ccctransfer.org. California community college UC Transferable Course Agreements and their articulation agreements with UC campuses are available at www.assist.org. Campus admissions offices also can offer information and assistance.
Advising Transfer Students

A UC education is good preparation for advanced study and for many professions. Community college students should be encouraged to thoroughly research how UCs majors may fit into their particular career goals. Prospective transfer students who need help narrowing their choice of majors should visit the Exploring Majors feature at www.assist. org for detailed descriptions of majors at each campus, and information on major coursework and general education requirements. At uctransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu, students can find the Transfer Preparation Paths, which summarize the major-preparation requirements for the most popular majors at UC, highlighting the common requirements shared by a majority of campuses. UC campus admissions offices also can provide up-to-date information about the requirements in highly competitive programs. Once enrolled at UC, transfer students should be prepared for a more demanding academic experience, in part because much of their coursework will be at the junior and senior level. Students changing from a semester to a quarter system also should be prepared for a faster pace. While still attending community college, students can best prepare for University work by completing a comprehensive and challenging program. Academic Standing in UC: Former UC students whose cumulative GPA at UC was below 2.0 should work closely with UC advisers if they want to transfer to another UC campus or return to the campus where they first enrolled. The UC campus they are interested in attending can give them the best guidance on transferring back to UC.

Admission Requirements
In addition to meeting the minimum admission requirements, a student should adhere to any special application or screening procedures for the selected major or UC campus (see chapter beginning on page 19). Additional requirements for highly competitive majors can also be identified through articulation agreements (available at www.assist.org) and campus General Catalogs. Students should enroll in the courses that meet these requirements. To earn 60 semester (90 quarter) units before transferring, the student should select

Course Sequences
When requirements are stated as a full-year sequence, students should be encouraged to complete the entire course series before transferring to avoid duplicating coursework. Also, the topics covered in a particular semester or quarter of the sequence at a community college may not be the same as at a UC campus.
Major-Preparation Requirements
Transfer students should select a major and take courses that meet major requirements. In most cases, completing at least a portion of the major requirements is essential to gain admission to the major. Transfer Preparation Paths: The Transfer Preparation Paths, available at uctransfer. universityofcalifornia.edu, outline the majorpreparation requirements at each UC campus for the most popular majors. They are particularly useful in helping students identify major-preparation coursework that will prepare them for multiple UC campuses. Information on major-preparation requirements also is available in the campus General Catalogs and at www.assist.org.

If a student satisfies the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum ( IGETC ) prior to transferring, he or she may satisfy part 2 of the transfer eligibility requirements. (For more on IGETC, see page 16.)
Minimum Admission Requirements for Transfer Applicants

A transfer applicant, according to the University, is a student who has enrolled in a fall, winter or spring session at another college or university after high school. A student who meets this definition cannot disregard his or her college record and apply as a freshman. The requirements described below represent the minimum academic standards students must attain to be eligible for admission to the University. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to a particular campus. Admission to the campus and program of choice often requires students to meet more demanding standards. Please refer to the sections on University Admissions Policy (page 2) and Transfer Selection (page 36) for more information.
Lower-Division Transfer
The University admits some transfer students before they reach junior standing if they have met specific requirements. Refer to the open/closed majors status report at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/ openmajors to see which campuses will accept lower-division transfers for a particular term. If a student was eligible for admission to the University when he or she graduated from high school meaning the student satisfied the Subject, Scholarship and Examination Requirements (see pages 412), or was identified by the University as eligible in the local context and completed the Subject and Examination Requirements in the senior year the student is eligible for transfer if he or she has a C (2.0) average in transferable college coursework. If a student met the Scholarship Requirement in high school but did not satisfy the Subject Requirement, the student must take transferable college courses in the missing subjects, earn a C or better in each required course and maintain an overall 2.0 GPA in all transferable coursework to be eligible to transfer. See College Courses in the chart on pages 67 for information about clearing deficiencies in the Subject Requirement.
General Education/Breadth Requirements

The general education or breadth requirements are designed to give UC undergraduates a broad background in all major academic disciplines natural sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, mathematics, humanities, and visual and performing arts. The general education/breadth requirements specify the courses students must take or credit hours they must accumulate in each area. However, each student should consider the general education recommendation for his or her major, as it may be more important to concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that are screened for in the selection process. Each school and college at every UC campus has its own set of requirements. They are described in the campus General Catalogs and artic ulation agreements. With careful planning, the student can meet many of the requirements while attending community college. At some campuses and in some majors, transfer students must fulfill all or a portion of the major-preparation and/or general education/breadth requirements before transferring. Transfer applicants to the University from California community colleges may satisfy lower-division general education requirements by completing the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum ( IGETC ). IGETC, including certification and IGETC exceptions, is described at right. Information about general education requirements is also available at www.assist.org.
Junior-Level Transfer
The vast majority of transfer students come to the University at the junior level from California community colleges. To be eligible for admission as a junior transfer student, a student must fulfill both of the following criteria: 1. Complete 60 semester (90 quarter) units of transferable college credit with a GPA of at least 2.4 (2.8 for nonresidents). No more than 14 semester (21 quarter) units may be taken Pass/Not Pass. 2. Complete the following course pattern requirements, earning a grade of C or better in each course: Two transferable college courses (3 semester or 45 quarter units each) in English composition; One transferable college course (3 semester or 45 quarter units) in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; Four transferable college courses (3 semester or 45 quarter units each) chosen from at least two of the following
Admission by Exception
Because all students have not had the same opportunities to prepare for higher education, the University gives additional consideration to a limited number of applicants who show potential to succeed at the University even though they do not meet the minimum admission requirements. Decisions on admission by exception are made at the campus level.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum

The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum ( IGETC ) is a series of courses prospective transfer students attending California community colleges may complete at the community college to satisfy the lowerdivision breadth/general education requirements at both the University of California and the California State University. Visit ccctransfer.org/igetc/main-page for details of standards adopted in June 2009. Students have the option of completing IGETC (as described in the chart below) or the specific lower-division general education requirements of the school or college at the campus they plan to attend. The University has an agreement with each California community college specifying which of its courses may be applied to each category of IGETC. All courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. IGETC is most helpful to students who know they want to transfer but have not yet decided upon a particular institution, campus or major. Certain students, however, will not be well-served by following IGETC. Students who intend to transfer into majors that require extensive lower-division preparation, such as those in engineering or the physical and natural sciences, should concentrate on completing the many prerequisites for the major that the college screens for to determine eligibility for admission. See IGETC Considerations section at right. IGETC is not an admission requirement. Completing it does not guarantee admission to the campus or program of choice. However, completing the lower-division breadth/general education requirements whether through IGETC or the campus-specific requirements may be considered by the campus in selecting among qualified applicants. See pages 19 25. Students who do not complete IGETC before transferring will be required to satisfy the specific lower-division general education requirements of the UC college or school they attend. California community colleges may grant partial certification of IGETC to students who are missing no more than two requirements. Students submitting partial IGETC certification should complete the missing requirements at either UC or a California community college as designated by their department.
Students who have been granted partial IGETC certification should not return to the community college for a full certification.
More About iGETC

Gpa requirement IGETC courses must be completed with a grade of C or better. A grade of Credit or Pass may be used if the community colleges policy states that it is equivalent to a grade of C or better. use of ap exams IGETC course credit may be earned for scores of 3, 4 or 5 on Advanced Placement (AP) exams that the California community college faculty recognize as equivalent to its IGETC-approved courses. An acceptable score on an English AP exam may be used to meet the English composition requirement but not the critical thinking/English composition requirement. iGetc course agreements A community college course can satisfy only one IGETC subject area even if it is listed on the IGETC Course Agreement in more than one area. However, a single course may be counted toward IGETC and a major requirement. certification Certification of IGETC completion is the responsibility of the last community college a student attends prior to transfer. iGetc considerations California community college students with a substantial amount of coursework from institutions outside the United States should consult with a community college counselor to determine whether they should complete
the lower-division breadth/general education requirements at the campus they plan to attend instead of IGETC. In addition, some transfer students in some colleges or majors must follow a more prescribed lower-division curriculum than IGETC allows. These are described below. Berkeley: IGETC is acceptable for all majors in the College of Letters and Science. The Haas School of Business and the colleges of Engineering, Environmental Design and Chemistry have extensive, prescribed major prerequisites. In general, IGETC is not appropriate preparation for majors in these colleges. Although IGETC satisfies breadth requirements for most majors in the College of Natural Resources, specific lower-division major requirements must still be satisfied. For more information, visit www.assist.org or check with the college. davis: IGETC works well for students planning for Bachelor of Arts majors with few units of lower-division preparation. Bachelor of Science degrees and high-unit majors often have many courses of lower-divisions preparation. In these cases, the UC Davis GE pattern is the best choice. Students in the College of Engineering who have satisfied IGETC are still required to complete two upper-division general education courses at UC Davis to satisfy College of Engineering requirements. Irvine: All schools accept IGETC. However, selection by the campus is based on demonstrated academic achievement and preparation for the intended major.

Los Angeles: The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science does not accept IGETC. Merced: The Schools of Engineering and Natural Sciences accept IGETC but do not recommend it. Riverside: The Bourns College of Engineering accepts completion of IGETC as satisfying the majority of the colleges breadth requirements for transfer students. Some additional breadth coursework may be required after enrollment. (For details, see student.engr.ucr.edu/ policies/requirements/breadth.html.) However, prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to focus instead on preparatory coursework for their desired major, such as mathematics, science and other technical preparatory coursework, rather than on IGETC completion. Strong technical preparation is essential for success in the admissions process and, subsequently, in all coursework at Bourns. The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences does not accept IGETC , although courses taken to satisfy IGETC may be applied toward the colleges breadth pattern. The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Science and the School of Business Administration accept IGETC. San diego: IGETC is accepted by John Muir, Earl Warren, Sixth and Thurgood Marshall colleges only. Students completing IGETC are welcomed at Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle colleges; however, they must also fulfill the specific general education requirements of those colleges. At UCSD, all majors are available to students in each college, so students who choose IGETC will not be restricted in their choice of major. Santa Barbara: Transfer students in the College of Letters and Science and the College of Creative Studies may use IGETC to substitute for general education requirements. Students transferring into the College of Engineering are encouraged to focus on the preparation for their major rather than general education courses, but may also use IGETC to substitute for most general education requirements. As part of their general education, all students in the College of Engineering are required to complete a depth requirement. Students who wish to satisfy the depth requirement prior to transfer must complete a yearlong sequence in the history of world civilization, history of Western civilization, history of the United States, history of Western philosophy or history of Western art. Students may want to choose courses for IGETC that will concurrently satisfy the depth requirement. Students may also complete the depth

Variable topics Courses These courses are also called Independent Studies, Special Studies, Special Topics, Field Work, etc. Credit for variable topics courses is given only after a review of the scope and content of the course by the enrolling UC campus. This usually occurs after transfer and may require recommendations from faculty. Information about internships may also be presented for review, but credit for internships rarely transfers to UC. UC does not grant credit for variable topics courses in Journalism, Photography, Health, Business Administration, Architecture, Administration of Justice (Criminology) or Library Departments because of credit restrictions in these areas. Honors Course Credit Limitation Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will only be awarded to the rst course completed with a grade of C or better.

requirement with upper-division coursework after transferring. Please note: Students planning to transfer into a major in engineering, computer science, or the biological or physical sciences must be careful to complete lower-division major prerequisites if they are to ensure competitiveness for admission and make normal, timely progress through the major. Santa Cruz: Transfer students intending to pursue any major in the physical and biological sciences or the Jack Baskin School of Engineering should not follow IGETC because it will not provide them with enough lower-division preparation for their majors. IGETC course lists online IGETC course lists for all California community colleges are available at www.assist.org.
Transfer Credit
The University has developed and maintains Transferable Course Agreements (TCAs) with all of Californias community colleges. These agreements specify those courses that will receive baccalaureate degree credit from the University.
All California community colleges also have agree ments with UC campuses that specify which of the transferable courses may be used to meet various general education/ breadth and/or major-preparation requirements. These agreements were developed to ensure continuity in students academic programs. It is important that prospective transfer students take college courses that are acceptable to UC for transfer credit. The University will accept appropriate credit earned by examination provided the course title, units and grades appear on the official transcript of a regionally accredited institution. Grades assigned for credit earned by examination are treated in the same manner as grades assigned for other transferable courses completed. limits on transfer credit The University will award graduation credit for up to 70 semester (105 quarter) units of transferable coursework from a community college, meaning those units will be counted toward completion of a degree. Courses in excess of 70 semester units will not receive unit credit but will receive subject credit and may be used to satisfy UC subject requirements.
17
Some campuses also limit the total number of transfer units that will be accepted. If community college work is combined with credit from a four-year institution, different unit limits may apply. Please consult a campus admissions office.
Universitywide Articulation
The Transferable Course Agreements (TCAs), often referred to as the first level of articulation, determine the general transferability of community college courses to the University. Courses approved for transfer are applied as advanced-standing elective credit toward an undergraduate degree at any UC campus. The University develops and updates the TCAs with the California community colleges. The agreements are reviewed by articulation analysts using UC and community college catalogs, expanded course outlines and regulations established by the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools, the UC Academic Senate committee responsible for admission requirements. Two basic principles are involved in determining whether a community college course is transferable. First, the course should be comparable to one offered at the lowerdivision level at a UC campus. Second, if the course is not equivalent to a particular UC course, it must be appropriate for a University degree in terms of its purpose, scope and depth. Each year, UC sends to each California community college general information related to the articulation process, a copy of the colleges most recent articulation agreement, and instructions for reviewing and updating the agreement. California community colleges are asked to submit their most recent catalog and a listing of new courses, including course outlines, for review. The University reviews the submitted material and sends an electronic notification to the community college and the UC campuses. The updated TCA is posted on the ASSIST website (www.assist.org). See page 17 for a sample TCA. Each course is displayed by department, course number and title.
colleges and schools at the UC campuses determine the acceptability of transfer courses to satisfy degree requirements. Campus admissions or relations with schools offices serve as liaison between the California community college articulation officers and the UC deans. General education/breadth requirement agreements General education/breadth requirement agreements specify which California community college courses may be used to satisfy general education/breadth requirements of particular colleges and schools at a particular UC campus. major-preparation requirement agreements Major-preparation requirement agreements specify which California community college courses may be used to satisfy preparation requirements for particular majors or programs of study at a particular UC campus. course-by-course agreements Courseby-course agreements specify the California community college courses that are comparable to or acceptable in lieu of corresponding courses at a particular UC campus.

Academic History for Transfer Applicants

Transfer applicants must complete the Academic History section of the application. The record provides a report of the applicants academic performance in college, which will be used for preliminary review of the application. Lower-division transfer applicants must include their full high school academic history in addition to their college work. It is important that all the information requested be included and that the information is accurate. All college courses taken or planned should be listed, regardless of length of attendance or grade earned or whether the student thinks the course will be transferable. Students should refer to transcripts and grade reports to complete the Academic History; they should not work from memory. In addition to allowing an initial evaluation of the transfer applicants academic record, the self-report may be used to help determine which applications are considered for highly competitive programs. The admissions offices may also use the Academic History to make preliminary offers of admission to transfer applicants. The information on the selfreport will be verified when the students official transcripts are received.
Language/Literature Credit for Students Whose Native Language is Not English

A student whose native language is not English who has completed at least nine years of education conducted in that native language may receive credit for language courses in the native language only if the courses are at the upper-division level. College credit for literature in the native language is allowed only for courses taken in native institutions of college level or for upper-division and graduate courses actually taken at the University of California or at another approved institution where the language of instruction is English.
Updating the Application

Transfer students who apply for fall admission will be asked in January to update their applications. Once they log in to the application, they will be able to give UC their final grades from the previous fall, as well as a list of all courses in progress or planned for winter and spring. Applicants to UC Berkeley must also submit supplemental forms regarding completion of general education and/or major-prerequisite coursework. For more information, contact the campus admissions office.

donald bren school of information and computer sciences Transfer Applicants: Read major-specific
requirements and the notes at the end of this section. Applicants to the Biomedical Computing major must have satisfactorily completed the following minimum requirements: one year of discrete mathematics or one year of calculus, preferably both (a semester of pre-calculus and a semester of calculus are not sufficient to satisfy this requirement); one year of transferable computer science courses involving concepts such as those found in Java1, Scheme, C++, or other objectoriented or high-level programming language; one year of introductory physics and corresponding labs covering at least the concepts of units, vectors, motion, force, energy, momentum, rotation, gravity, electricity and magnetism; and an introductory biology course covering at least the concepts of genetics, replication and expression of DNA, cell division, gene transmission, mutation and recombination in diploid organisms. Knowledge of basic concepts in molecular biology is also highly recommended. Applicants to the major in Business Information Management (offered jointly with the Paul Merage School of Business) must have
satisfactorily completed one year of discrete mathematics, if available (if not, first-year calculus), one year of transferable computer science courses with at least one course involving concepts such as those found in Java1, Scheme, C++, or other object-oriented or high-level programming language, and courses equivalent to Economics 20A-B and Management 30A-B. Applicants to the Computer Science and Engineering major (offered jointly with The Henry Samueli School of Engineering) are encouraged to complete as many of the lowerdivision degree requirements as possible prior to transfer, including one year of approved calculus; one year of calculus-based physics with labs (mechanics, electricity, magnetism); one year of programming with at least one course in object-oriented programming (Java recommended1); and one additional transferable course for the major (an approved math, science or CSE course). Applicants to the Computer Game Science2, Computer Science, and Information and Computer Science majors must have satisfactorily completed one year of discrete mathematics, if available (if not, first-year calculus), and one year of transferable computer science courses with at least one course involving concepts such as those found in Java1, Scheme, C++, or other object-oriented or high-level programming language. Applicants to the Informatics major must have satisfactorily completed one term of college mathematics (courses equivalent to ICS 6B/Mathematics 6B [Boolean Algebra and Logic], Statistics 7/Mathematics 7 [Basic Statistics] or Statistics 67/Mathematics 67 [Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Computer Science], and Philosophy 29 [Critical Reasoning] are preferred as these courses facilitate scheduling after transfer to UCI) and one year of transferable computer science courses with at least one course involving concepts such as those found in Java1, Scheme, C++, or other object-oriented or high-level programming language.
1 Java is used extensively in the curriculum; therefore, transfer students should plan to learn it by studying on their own or by completing a Java-related programming course prior to their first quarter at UCI. 2 Applicants to the Computer Game Science major should be aware that several lower-division courses must be taken at UCI; therefore, the minimum time to degree completion will be three years.
21
Notes (all majors): Additional computer science courses beyond the two required are strongly recommended, particularly those that align with the major(s) of interest. Additional courses beyond those required for admission must be taken at UCI to fulfill the lower-division degree requirements as many are prerequisites for upper-division courses. For some transfer students, this may mean it will take longer than two years to complete their degree.

Freshman Selection
hen a campus has to choose among qualified students, it applies standards that are more demanding than the minimum requirements. Using a process called comprehensive review, evaluators look beyond test scores and grades to evaluate applicants academic achievements in light of the opportunities available to them and the capacity each student demonstrates to contribute to the intellectual life of the campus.
comprehensive review factors for freshman applicants

To be eligible for admission, applicants must meet the Universitys minimum undergraduate admission requirements. The following guidelines provide the framework within which the campuses establish procedures for selecting applicants when the number of eligible applicants exceeds the places available. Each campus, in consultation with the UC Office of the President, develops targets that specify the number of new freshmen and advanced-standing students expected to enroll. Campuses that receive more applications than the number required to meet their enrollment target admit students using criteria drawn from those below. The following criteria provide a comprehensive list of factors campuses may use to select their admitted class. Based on campus-specific institutional goals and needs, admissions decisions will be based on a broad variety of factors:
Academic grade point average (GPA) calculated on all academic high school courses
Factors Considered in Comprehensive Review

To guide the campuses in their comprehensive review of applicants, UC faculty developed the factors listed at right. All campuses place the highest importance on academic achievement in evaluating applications. However, the specific evaluation process and weight given to each factor differ from campus to campus and year to year. Current descriptions of campuses review processes are available on the websites listed on their Freshman Profiles, which follow.

Freshman Admission Profile

The Freshman Admission Profile, beginning on page 27, summarizes the academic qualifications of applicants and admitted freshmen to each UC campus for fall 2010. The data are useful only as a general guide to selectivity, rather than as a predictor of an individuals chances of admission to a particular campus or program. These data are preliminary, as of May 26, 2010. Some campuses admitted students after that date, which may affect their statistics. In addition, the pool of applicants differs every year. The level of academic performance necessary for admittion to a particular campus or major will vary, depending on the number of other applicants and their academic qualifications, as well as the number of available spaces. Data for several colleges on a campus are grouped together, which masks the differences in the degree of competition for admission among them. Some campuses and colleges admit students directly into individual majors, and the degree of competition among majors may vary widely. The average high school GPA listed for each campus is computed from 10th- and 11th-grade a-g coursework, including up to eight semesters of honors courses. Average exam scores are derived from the highest official reported scores.
Advanced Placement courses, International Baccalaureate Higher Level courses and transferable college courses completed. It is recommended that caution be exercised in order not to assign excessive weight to these courses, especially if considerable weight already has been given in the context of the first criterion. Additionally, in recognition of existing differences in availability of these courses among high schools, it is recommended that reviewers assess completion of this coursework against the availability of these courses at the applicants secondary school.
Being identified as eligible in the local context by being ranked in the top 4 percent of
the class by the end of the junior year, as determined by the academic criteria established by the University of California.
The quality of the senior-year program, as measured by the type and number of academic
courses (see third and fourth bullets, above) in progress or planned.

The quality of academic performance relative to the educational opportunities available in the
applicants secondary school.

Outstanding performance in one or more specific academic subject areas. Outstanding work in one or more special projects in any academic field of study. Recent, marked improvement in academic performance, as demonstrated by academic grade
point average and quality of coursework (see third and fourth bullets, above) completed and in progress, with particular attention given to the last two years of high school.
Special talents, achievements and awards in a particular field, such as in the visual and perform-
ing arts, or in athletic endeavors; special skills, such as demonstrated written and oral proficiency in other languages; special interests, such as intensive study and exploration of other cultures; experiences that demonstrate unusual promise for leadership, such as significant community service or significant participation in student government; or other significant experiences or achievements that demonstrate the applicants promise for contributing to the intellectual vitality of a campus.
Completion of special projects undertaken either in the context of the high school curriculum
or in conjunction with special school events, projects or programs cosponsored by the school, community organizations, postsecondary educational institutions, other agencies or private firms, which offer significant evidence of an applicants special effort and determination or that may indicate special suitability to an academic program on a specific campus.
Academic accomplishments in light of the applicants life experiences and special circumstances.
These experiences and circumstances may include, but are not limited to, disabilities, low family income, first generation to attend college, need to work, disadvantaged social or educational environment, difficult personal and family situations or circumstances, refugee status or veteran status.
Location of the applicants secondary school and residence. These factors shall be considered
to provide for geographic diversity in the student population and also to account for the wide variety of educational environments existing in California.

Transfer Selection
he University has a historic commitment to providing a place on one of its campuses for each eligible California resident who files an application on time. In recent years, however, the number of applicants to many campuses and majors has greatly exceeded the number of spaces available. When a campus has to choose among qualified students, it applies standards that are more demanding than the minimum requirements. Using a process called comprehensive review, admissions officers look beyond the required coursework and grades to evaluate applicants academic achievements in light of the opportunities available to them and the capacity each student demonstrates to contribute to the intellectual life of the campus.
comprehensive review factors for transfer applicants

To be eligible for admission, applicants must meet the Universitys undergraduate admission requirements. The following guidelines provide the framework within which the campuses establish procedures for selecting applicants when the number of eligible applicants exceeds the places available. Each campus, in consultation with the Office of the President, develops targets that specify the number of new freshmen and advanced-standing students expected to enroll. Campuses that receive more applications than the number required to meet their enrollment target admit students using the criteria described below. Primary emphasis in the selection of advanced-standing applicants will be given to the criteria related to academic performance (first four bulleted items). Consideration also will be given to other criteria to assess applicants overall promise of success and to achieve strength and diversity in campuses advanced-standing student body (last four bullets). Priority consideration for admission of advanced-standing applicants will be given to upper-division junior transfer students from California community colleges. The following factors are considered during evaluation:
Completion of a specified pattern or number of courses that meet breadth or general education requirements;
Completion of a specified pattern or number of courses that provide continuity with upperdivision courses in the major;
Factors Considered in Comprehensive Review

To guide the campuses in their comprehensive review of applicants, UC faculty developed the factors listed in the box at right. All campuses place the highest importance on academic achievement in evaluating applications. However, the specific evaluation process and weight given to each factor differ from campus to campus and year to year. Every campus and many selective schools and programs have additional criteria in selecting transfer applicants. For complete details, visit the campuses websites listed on page 37. Its important to remember that the pool of students who apply to UC is different every year. The level of academic performance students will need to achieve to be admitted to a particular campus or major will vary, depending on the number of other applicants and their academic qualifications, as well as the number of available spaces. At all campuses, admissions preference is given to junior-level applicants from California community colleges.
Grade point average in all transferable courses; Participation in academically selective honors courses or programs; Special talents, achievements and awards in a particular field, such as in the visual and
performing arts or in athletic endeavors; special skills, such as demonstrated written and oral proficiency in other languages; special interests, such as intensive study and exploration of other cultures; experiences that demonstrate unusual promise for leadership, such as significant community service or significant participation in student government; or other significant experiences or achievements that demonstrate the applicants promise for contributing to the intellectual vitality of a campus;
Completion of special projects, undertaken either in the context of the college/university

curriculum or in conjunction with special school events, projects or programs cosponsored by the college/university, community organizations, post-secondary educational institutions, other agencies or private firms, which offer significant evidence of an applicants special effort and determination or that may indicate special suitability to an academic program on a specific campus;
Academic accomplishments in light of the applicants life experiences and special circumstances. These experiences and circumstances may include, but are not limited to, disabilities, low family income, first generation to attend college, need to work, disadvantaged social or educational environment, difficult personal and family situations or circumstances, refugee status or veteran status; and
Location of the applicants college and residence. These factors shall be considered to provide
for geographic diversity in the student population and also to account for the wide variety of educational environments existing in California. (For additional criteria that campuses may consider, refer to the first 10 bullets of Comprehensive Review Factors for Freshman Applicants, listed on page 25 and in the campus General Catalogs.)
Berkeley
All Colleges
Students are selected primarily on the basis of academic performance and preparation, as assessed by review of college GPA , level of completion of prerequisite courses for the major and general education requirements for the college or school. Other criteria may be considered after comprehensive review of all academic and personal information provided on the application. This includes extracurricular accomplishment, employment, personal qualities such as leadership or
motivation, and likely contribution to the intellectual and cultural vitality of the campus. Demonstrated interest in the major may be considered as well. All achievements are considered in the context of the opportunities available to the applicant and the ways in which he or she has responded to them. Transfer students from both two-year and four-year institutions are admitted; however, preference is given to California community college transfer applicants who are California residents.
College of Chemistry
Applicants must complete one year of general chemistry, one year of calculus, calculus-based physics course(s) in mechanics and wave motion, and course(s) equivalent to the first semester of the Reading and Composition requirement (and the second semester of the R&C requirement for chemistry majors, chemical biology majors and chemical engineering joint majors), plus two additional courses for the major.

Avoiding Duplication with iB, AP and College Courses

Students should be advised that college courses taken before or after attending the University may duplicate IB or AP examinations. If the student does duplicate an exam with a college course or vice versa, the University will award credit for only one.
Advanced Placement
The University grants credit for all College Board Advanced Placement tests on which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit toward graduation may get specific subject credit and/ or credit toward general education/breadth requirements, as determined by evaluators at each campus. Students should be encouraged to take AP tests when appropriate. Although the College Board reports all AP tests results to the University, students should be aware AP test scores lower than 3 will not adversely affect their chances for admission. Units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of a major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation.

International Admission and Academic Records
n increasing number of prospective UC students have completed part of their high school or college work in a foreign country and their academic records include both U.S. and foreign credentials. Students with such mixed records often have questions about how to complete the Universitys application for admission. The information in this section is provided to assist you in advising these students. Each University campus has experienced international admission specialists to evaluate foreign academic records and determine transferability of foreign coursework. They are knowledgeable about the different grading systems and methods of reporting coursework in other countries. The international admission specialists are able to provide general information to students; however, they cannot provide formal evaluations for students before they apply. Once a student has been admitted to a campus and has accepted the offer of admission, the campus will complete the formal evaluation. Counselors with questions about how to interpret foreign academic records or how to advise a student to complete the application should contact a campus international admission specialist or admissions office. The addresses and phone numbers are provided beginning on page 76.
Academic Records
Students who accept an offer of admission to the University must provide official academic records from all institutions they attended beginning with the equivalent of the first year of high school in the United States. Because it can take a substantial amount of time to obtain records from schools outside the United States, applicants should have legible photocopies of their official foreign academic records. After a student submits an application, he or she should be prepared to send these copies to the office of admissions upon their request. Official transcripts will be required at the campus the student elects to attend. The official record must list the titles of courses and examinations the student completed, the grades (marks) earned, the dates attended and any degree or diploma earned. In the United States, the academic record is usually referred to as a transcript; in other countries it may be called by another name, such as leaving certificate, maturity certificate, bachillerato or baccalaureate. The University recognizes that it may be difficult to obtain foreign records in the
event of political upheaval or natural disaster; however, these situations are rare. Failure to provide official records may jeopardize a students enrollment at the University. evaluation of secondary school coursework for advanced credit In most cases, the University does not grant advanced-standing credit for secondary-level certificates or diplomas. Credit is given for Hong Kong and GCE advanced-level exams passed with a grade of C or better. translations Secondary school records generally do not need to be translated unless they are in a language with an alphabet other than the Roman alphabet. In that case, official translations are required. Students must submit certified translations of all foreign college/university records that are not issued in English. The University will accept English-language translations provided by foreign universities or those performed by certified translators with knowledge of educational records and terminology. course descriptions The admissions office may need descriptions of college/university coursework to determine course content and verify that the student has completed required preparatory coursework for the major or college. Many foreign universities can provide translations into English. If a university cannot, UC will accept a student translation. The University does not use course evaluations provided by professional credential evaluation agencies. All transcript and course evaluations are performed by the Universitys international admission specialists.
nations) should list the mark earned in the examination rather than the mark assigned by the teacher at the end of the course. Transfer applicants should list hours, credits or units for coursework as noted on their transcripts if their coursework is not reported as quarter or semester units. Transfer applicants should include foreign coursework in calculating their preliminary grade point average only if they can convert the marks they received to the A-B-C-D-F grading system. If the grades cannot be converted, they should not be included in the GPA calculation.
English Language Proficiency Requirement

Students whose native language is not English and whose secondary/high school or college/university education was in a country where English is not the language of instruction must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination (academic modules) and arrange to have the scores reported to the admissions office at each campus to which they apply. The admissions office must receive the test results from the testing agency no later than January for students applying for the fall term. The minimum TOEFL score required to demonstrate proficiency ranges from 173220 on the computer version (79-83 on the Internetbased test, 500550 on the paper version), depending on the campus. The minimum IELTS score is 7. The acceptable score range for the Internet-based TOEFL is 7983. English courses taken in the United States may be substituted for the TOEFL or IELTS , but requirements vary from campus to campus.
The Application
scholastic information On the undergraduate application, students must list all institutions attended, including any foreign schools, beginning with the equivalent of the ninth grade, even if the student satisfied or plans to satisfy the UC admission requirements with only U.S. coursework. academic history Students who attended school outside the United States should report their foreign coursework and grades on the Academic History section of the online undergraduate application to the best of their ability, following the instructions provided. They should list all courses attempted and record the grades earned exactly as reported by the foreign school whether as numbers, letters, percentages or words. Freshman applicants who took any external examinations in secondary school (such as GCE Advanced Level, HKCEE, GCSE, ICSE, ISC, AISSC or Matriculation Exami-

Language Other Than English Requirements
language other than English may be required or recommended at the college, school, major or program level. The e subject requirement for freshman admission to UC requires two years of a language other than English. In some cases, this will satisfy the students foreign language requirement. In many cases, however, additional study is necessary at the college level. When appropriate, students should complete additional study of a language other than English before entering UC. Most non-language undergraduate majors require or recommend that students demonstrate competence in at least one language other than English. Study of a language other than English is also appropriate for students considering graduate study, even if their undergraduate major does not have a language requirement. Many graduate programs require students to demonstrate proficiency in at least one language other than English, and in some programs students are expected to be able to study documents in the original language. At the University, lower-division study in a language other than English covers grammar, composition and conversation. It usually takes six quarters for students to complete elementary- and intermediatelevel courses. Upper-division students study literature, history, advanced grammar and phonetics of the language.

Educational Opportunity Program

The Educational Opportunity Program
(EOP) is designed for students with exceptional
academic ability and promise despite a lowincome or educationally disadvantaged background. Programs and services offered to EOP participants vary from campus to campus, but are similar to those described above. EOP is open to students who meet the Universitys regular admission requirements. In addition, at some campuses special assistance may be available through EOP to students who do not meet the regular admission requirements, but who can demonstrate the ability and potential to succeed at the University. (See description of Admission by Exception on page 12.) EOP applicants must be residents of California or Native Americans from any state. Students who have participated in other programs that serve low-income or disadvantaged students, such as Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS) or Upward Bound, do not automatically qualify for EOP. In turn, if a student was ineligible for programs such as EOPS or Upward Bound, he or she may still be eligible for the Universitys EOP program.

Fees and Expenses
ell in advance of applying for admission, students and their families should investigate the financial aspects of attending the University, including probable expenses and available financial aid programs. The chart at right provides estimates of the average costs for a California-resident undergraduate living in a University residence hall during the 201011 academic year (three quarters or two semesters). Although Universitywide educational and registration fees are uniform, total costs vary from one UC campus to another due to differences in individual campus fees and living expenses in the area where the campus is located. The numbers provided here are averages.
EStimatED coStS, 2010 11

AVERAGE COSTS FOR A CALIFORNIA-RESIDENT UNDERGRADUATE LIVING IN UNIVERSITy HOUSING
Fees* Books and Supplies Health Insurance Allowance/Fee Room and Board Personal/Transportation total estimated costs
$ 11,285 1,564 1,046 12,980 2,575 $29,450
* Fees are subject to change without notice.
Required Fees
The estimated average Universitywide total fees of $11,285 for 201011 in the chart include educational, registration and campus fees. Actual fees for 201011 and 201112 may be higher. Individual campus fees support activities and services such as the associated students, student union, recreation center, transportation and student health center. Students are expected to pay required fees during registration prior to the beginning of each term. All campuses offer either deferred payment plans that allow students to pay fees in installments during the term, or accept payment by credit card. As parents and students investigate the costs of attending the University, especially specific fees and expenses at each campus, they can turn to sources including the campus General Catalogs, websites and financial aid publications. The campus financial aid office can provide information about fees and expenses that apply to specific students in particular programs.
Nonresident Tuition
Students who cannot qualify as California residents must pay nonresident tuition and additional fees to attend the University. For 201011, nonresidents were charged $22,879 in addition to the approximately $11,285 charged to California residents. Actual fees for 201011 and 201112 may be higher. To be considered a California resident for purposes of tuition and fees, an undergraduate student under the age of 24 without at least one parent who qualifies as a California resident must: Be able to document that he or she has lived in California for more than one
year preceding the residence determination date (the day instruction begins at the last UC campus to open in the fall each year); Relinquish residence in other states; Demonstrate an intent to establish residency in California; and Demonstrate financial independence. Students are financially independent for tuition and fee purposes if they were not declared as exemptions on anyone elses income taxes for at least the two preceding tax years and if they have been totally selfsufficient and their annual earnings were sufficient to pay for their educational and living expenses for two full years prior to the term they seek to be classified as residents. Other undergraduate students who qualify as financially independent include those who can document that they: Are 24 years old by Dec. 31 of the year they seek to be classified as residents; Are veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces; Are married or a registered domestic partner and were not claimed as an income tax deduction by anyone except a spouse or registered domestic partner for the one tax year preceding the term they seek to be classified as residents; Have dependents other than a spouse; Are orphans or wards of the court. This description of residency policy is not complete. Students should contact the residency deputy at the campus where they plan to enroll for more complete and authoritative information. The requirements for financial aid and California residency for purposes of tuition and fees differ, and student qualifications for each are determined separately. uc nonresident tuition exemption (ab 540) Certain nonresident students who attended a high school in California for at least three years and graduated from a California high school may be eligible for an exemption from the UC nonresident
tuition described above. Nonresident students include undocumented and domestic students who, for various reasons, are classified as nonresidents. Students who fulfill the qualifications but who dont have a lawful immigration status must certify that they are taking steps to legalize their immigration status or will do so as soon as they are eligible. Students who are nonimmigrants, including international F-1 students, are not eligible for this exemption. For additional information on eligibility and the application process for this UC tuition exemption, see www. universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/ resources/materials/ETS10/ETS10_ AB540_ final.pdf. residence status at other institutions Students with California-residence status for fee purposes at other colleges in the state are not guaranteed residence status for tuition purposes at UC. Contact the campus residency deputy for more information.

Financing a UC Education
UC is committed to making it possible for all academically eligible students to attend, regardless of their economic circumstances, and demonstrates this commitment with a strong financial aid program. Nearly twothirds of UC undergraduates receive some form of financial aid, including grants, loans, scholarships and work-study. In 200809, the average award was more than $11,100. In most cases, UC students, their parents and the University work together to finance their education. Each has a role to play: Parents: Parents of students under the age of 24 are generally expected to contribute toward the cost of their childs college education. Using federal guidelines, the University analyzes information provided on the financial aid application about parental income, assets and household size to determine the size of this contribution. Parents with particularly low incomes have an expected contribution of zero. Student: The University expects all financial aid recipients to help cover the costs of their education through a combination of working and borrowing. UCs aid program is designed, however, to limit the need to work and borrow to reasonable levels. Grant funding should be adequate to limit 1) the need to work while enrolled to no more than 20 hours per week, and 2) the need to borrow so that payments are manageable given the average expected earnings of a UC graduate. Scholarship awards can reduce the need to work and borrow.
The University: The University administers grant programs that provide gift assistance from a variety of sources for financially eligible students. If grants from federal and state sources are inadequate to keep the need to work and borrow at reasonable levels, the University provides students with its own grant assistance. To evaluate a students eligibility for financial aid, UC looks at the cost of attendance and the expected contributions from parents and students. If costs exceed the expected contributions, the University turns to other resources to help cover the costs. For a better sense of how families in various financial situations might finance a UC education, see the chart below. Also visit www. universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/finaid where you will find links to campus financial aid calculators.
Financial Support Programs

For 201011, the grants award up to $5,550 per year. (Students who have already received a bachelors degree and international students are not eligible for the Pell Grant.) cal Grants The California Student Aid Commission awards Cal Grants to eligible California residents attending a four-year college or university in California. Depending on the type of Cal Grant a student receives the Cal Grant A or Cal Grant A Community College Reserve Scholarship, Cal Grant B or Cal Grant Transfer Entitlement the money can be used for tuition, room and board, and school supplies. For 201011, the maximum Cal Grant A award for UC students is $10,302. The freshman Cal Grant B award is $1,551 and the sophomore, junior and senior-year award is $11,853. supplemental educational opportunity Grant (seoG) The University administers the federal SEOG for undergraduates who demonstrate exceptional financial need. All eligible financial aid applicants who completed the FAFSA by March 2 are considered for a SEOG . The grants may range from $100 to a few thousand dollars per year. teach Grant Grants of up to $4,000 per year (total of $16,000 as an undergraduate) are available to all students, regardless of income, who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are planning to become teachers and are willing to teach full time for four years in schools that are specified as serving disadvantaged populations or are located in areas that have a shortage of highly qualified teachers, and are prepared to teach in high-need fields such as bilingual education, foreign languages, mathematics or science.
applying for financial aid

Between Jan. 1 and March 2 before the beginning of the academic year they intend to enroll, students should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and the Cal Grant GPA Verification Form. Students should be advised that some forms of financing, such as federal education loans, are available only to families who submit the FAFSA . Instructions for completing the FAFSA are available online at www.fafsa. ed.gov. Paper copies of the FAFSA are available upon request.
Applicants must file a FAFSA and sign an agreement to teach for at least four years out of the first eight years after graduating and obtaining a teaching credential.
scholarships
UC awards a variety of scholarships in recognition of academic achievement and potential. The scholarship amount depends on the particular program and, in some cases, on the financial resources available to the student. Scholarships do not have to be repaid. Most UC campuses offer Regents and Alumni scholarships. In addition, each campus administers a wide variety of scholarships, endowed by private individuals, which are available only to students who meet specific requirements. need-based scholarships Need-basedscholarships are awarded to outstanding students who are eligible for financial aid. These may cover anything from a portion of the students financial need to a stipend covering the students full financial need. In most cases, campuses require that students file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA). (See page 65.) honorary scholarships Students with outstanding academic records should be encouraged to apply for honorary scholarships, regardless of their financial status. Honorary scholarships range from $300 to several thousand dollars annually.
loans
The University administers a number of loan programs to assist students and parents with college costs. Most federal student loans offer fixed interest rates and must be repaid over a period of several years, beginning six to nine months after the student stops attending school or ceases to be at least a half-time student. Federal loans available to students from low- and moderate-income families include Perkins loans and subsidized Stafford loans. Unsubsidized Stafford loans are available to students at any income level who are U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The PLUS
program (Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students) provides qualifying parents with the means to finance their expected contribution. perkins loan program This federal loan program is administered by the University. Repayment at 5 percent interest begins nine months after the student ceases to attend school at least half time. stafford loan program Under the Stafford loan program, students may take out federally insured loans from the federal government. Repayment begins six months after the student graduates, withdraws or attends school less than half time. Students who demonstrate financial need are eligible for the subsidized Stafford loan; interest rates for undergraduates borrowing subsidized Stafford loans is 4.5 percent for 201011. The federal government pays the interest that accrues while the student is in school. Unsubsidized Stafford loans are available to students whether or not they also qualify for need-based loans; the interest rates will be 6.8 percent. The student is responsible for the interest that accrues while he or she is attending school; however, payment of interest may be deferred until after the student graduates, withdraws or attends school less than half time. If interest is deferred, it is added to the principal, increasing the amount on which future interest is calculated. parent loans for undergraduate students (plus) PLUS loans are federally insured loans made to parents of dependent students. Borrowers must file a FAFSA and must not have evidence of adverse credit; a supplemental credit application is required. The 201011 interest rate for PLUS loans will be 7.9 percent. The borrower can defer payment of all interest and principal while the student is in school or request interest-only payments during this time. university loans Some UC campuses offer University loans. The interest rate ranges from 5 to 9 percent, depending on the campus. Repayment usually begins six to nine months after the borrower ceases to be at least a half-time student. Some campuses also offer
64
short-term emergency loans to help students through temporary difficulties.
student emploYment
Employment opportunities are available at all UC campuses for students eligible to work in the United States. Each campus has an office that maintains listings of on- and off-campus job opportunities and provides assistance to students looking for work. Students who qualify for financial aid also may be eligible for federal work-study employment.
Grants, visit the California Student Aid Commission website (www.csac.ca.gov). Students interested in obtaining Stafford loans must also file the FAFSA , although they do not need to demonstrate financial need for an unsubsidized loan. If a student has filed for financial aid while in community college, he or she may be able to file the shorter renewal form online by logging into the FAFSA website at www.fafsa. ed.gov and choosing Fill out a renewal FAFSA. The FAFSA is available online (www. fafsa.ed.gov).

Applying for Financial Aid and Scholarships

Prospective students who wish to apply for financial aid must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA) and the GPA Verification Form (for Cal Grant consideration) between Jan. 1 and March 2, 2011. Students who wish to be considered for need-based as well as honorary scholarships also must submit the FAFSA during the same time period. Campuses have different standards for awarding scholarships, require different supporting documents for scholarship consideration (including letters of recommendation) and have different deadlines for submitting supporting documents. This information is available at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/ admissions/undergrad_adm/scholarships.html. Students who file the FAFSA and GPA Verification Form between Jan. 1 and March 2, 2011, and who submit any required supporting documents by the deadline specified, will receive all financial aid from the University for which they are eligible. Students who submit the FAFSA after March 2 will receive aid only if funds permit and will not be considered for the Cal Grant. Students applying for admission to terms other than the fall also must file the FAFSA and GPA Verification Form between Jan. 1 and March 2, 2011. Otherwise, they will not be eligible for the Cal Grant and will receive other forms of aid only if funds permit.
supportinG documents
Applicants for financial aid should be aware that independent students and parents of dependent students may be required to submit a signed copy of their federal income tax returns to verify the information provided on the FAFSA . A student who has attended another college or university may be required to have the financial aid office at that school submit a financial aid transcript to the financial aid office at the UC campus he or she plans to attend.
independent Status
The financial aid office at each UC campus uses the information provided on the FAFSA to determine whether an applicant is dependent on his or her parents, or is independent (self-supporting) for financial aid purposes. Parents of dependent students are expected to contribute to their childs educational expenses. The same definition of independence is used for University programs, Cal Grant programs and federal programs. The definition grants independent status to students who meet one of the following conditions: Are graduate or professional school students; Are orphans or wards of the court; Are veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces; Are married (the state of California and the University of California but not the federal government treat students as married if they are in a registered domestic partnership); Have legal dependents other than a spouse; or Are 24 years or older by Dec. 31, 2011. Students who do not meet one of the above conditions and wish to be classified as independent will have to provide proof of their self-supporting status. Consult with a financial aid officer about this issue.
the free application for federal student aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA) is used by all public and most private colleges and universities in California to determine the amount of aid for which a student is eligible. In addition, it serves as the application form for the Pell Grants and along with the GPA Verification Form the Cal Grants. For more information about Cal
