FAQs for Freshman Admission FAQs for Transfer Admission FAQs for International Admission Can you send me an application form? Beginning with the fall 2005 application filing period, all undergraduate applications are filed online at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergradapp/.

Yes. You may apply to multiple UC campuses using a single application form. The fee is $60 per campus.
There are several ways to apply for a fee waiver. To qualify, you must meet the same income and family size guidelines, regardless of the method of application you use. If you are a high school student, use the College Board fee waiver available from your school counselor. If you are a qualified community college student, you may qualify for a fee waiver through the EOPS (Extended Opportunity Programs and Services program). Other students may be eligible for a UC fee waiver authorization, which is available at any UC Admissions, Relations with Schools, or EOP office. If you are unable to obtain a UC fee waiver authorization, you may simply attach a letter to your application stating your gross family income and the number of family members supported by that income and request consideration for a fee waiver.
For freshmen, UCI uses the University of California GPA calculation guidelines which are outlined in the UC Application for Admission, however, UCI limits the number of extra points awarded certified Honors and Advanced Placement courses to a maximum of eight semesters. For transfer students, the GPA is calculated using your transferable course work only.
UC Irvine may accept applications for the winter term from a limited group of applicants, such as students transferring from a California community college who are projecting junior level standing. However, not all majors and academic programs may be open for winter quarter transfers. The filing period for a winter quarter is during the month of July, and generally the decision to accept applications (or not) for winter quarter is posted on the University of California Web site in June. Enrollment opportunities at the UCI campus, including which majors and academic programs are available for new applicants, is available at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/apply/apply_majors_uci.html. UC Irvine does not accept applications for spring quarter.

Yes. UC Irvine will use the highest composite score from a single sitting, if it is reported to us.

Complications commonly arise for applicants who have not released their scores and/or who have only released part of their scores.
