What is the UC common application?

The UC common application is an online application for admission to the University of California system. It is used by all nine UC campuses and allows students to apply to multiple campuses with one application.

* The UC application is divided into several sections, including:

* Personal information

* Academic history

* Test scores (optional)

* Activities and awards

* Personal statements

* Letters of recommendation

* The UC application also has a section for students to self-report their grades and test scores. This is used by the UC campuses to verify the accuracy of the information submitted in the application.

* The UC common application is available online and can be submitted starting in August for the following academic year. The application deadline for most UC campuses is November 30.

* There is a $70 application fee. Fee waivers are available for students who qualify for financial aid.
