⏰Transfer Academic Update: Action Required

To ensure UC and CSU campuses have your most up-to-date academic information, all transfer applicants must complete an academic update after submitting their application. This update includes Fall 2025 grades and confirmation or changes to Winter/Spring 2026 coursework.

University of California (UC)

Transfer Academic Update (TAU)
December 15 – January 31

All UC transfer applicants are required to submit a TAU by January 31. You must complete the TAU even if you have no Fall 2025 grades or no Winter/Spring 2026 courses to report.

Not submitting your TAU by the deadline may impact your admission decision, so be sure to complete it before the January 31 priority deadline. For step-by-step guidance, refer to pages 71–76 of the “Presenting Yourself on the UC Application” presentation.

California State University (CSU)

Transfer Academic Update
January 1 – January 31

CSU transfer applicants must update their Cal State Apply application by January 31. This update allows you to report Fall 2025 grades and confirm or revise your planned coursework.

For instructions on how to complete the update, review the 2026–2027 Academic History Update Guide for Transfer Applicants.
