I'm Wait-listed, Now What?

UC Wait-List Facts

 

  • Most campuses typically maintain transfer waitlists for select majors with an opt-in deadline of May 15 (in most cases). You'll be notified of your final status by July 1.
  • You can accept waitlist offers from multiple campuses, but you can only accept one offer of admission.
  • Even if you accept a waitlist offer at a UC campus, you should submit a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) or secure your spot at another college/university that has offered you admission by the June 1 deadline to ensure you have a place to attend in the fall.
  • If you later accept an offer of admission from a UC campus where you have been waitlisted, you will forfeit your deposit at the first campus and must submit an additional SIR and deposit.
  • For more specific information, log in to your university portal or contact the university where you have been waitlisted.
