August 1st --- UC Application opens
UC Application link: https://admissions.universityofcalifornia.edu/applicant/login.htm
How to pay for application fees?
-
Are you an AB540-eligible student and meet the income requirement? (AB540 requirements: http://undocumented.ucdavis.edu/legislation/ab540.html )
-
IF YES: Undocumented students that meet the income requirements are eligible to fee waivers for up to four UC campuses
-
Apply for a fee waiver within the online application and be notified immediately whether you have qualified.
-
The option to apply for a fee waiver will be based on how you fill out the following questions:
-
-
Citizenship status: If you choose “No selection”
-
California residency: If you attended a California high school for three or more years and will graduate or have graduated from a California high school
-
Your family’s income and the number of people supported by that income
-
IF NOT ELIGIBLE: Every application is $70
Tips for filling out the Application
-
Social Security Number
-
IF you have a valid Social Security Number (SSN) --- for instance, because of immigration proceedings--- enter that on the application.
-
IF you have an SSN for work purposes (usually through DACA), use that where the application asks for an SSN.
-
If you don’t have a valid SSN or SSN for work purposes, but do have an Individual Tax Payer Identification Number (ITIN), use the ITIN in place of an SSN on the application
-
IF you don’t have a valid SSN, SSN for work purposes, or ITIN, leave this item blank
-
-
Country of Citizenship
-
You have the option to choose “No Selection.” This option is valid response and we recommend this choice for undocumented applicants, including those with DACA status.
-
Why choose “No Selection,”?
-
-
You will avoid being asked other questions about permanent residency and visa status that are not applicable to you.
-
You may be marked as an International Student if you choose a country of citizenship other than the United States
-
California Residency
-
To determine if you are a California resident for admission purposes, you’ll be asked the following:
-
- Have you attended a California high school for three or more years and will graduate or have graduated from a California high school?
- How long have you lived in California?
- [If under 18 years-old] Is your parent or legal guardian a permanent resident?
- Is your parent, legal guardian, spouse or registered domestic partner an employee of UC or a UC-affiliated national laboratory?
-
Parent Citizenship Information
-
When you submit your application, you will be asked questions about your parents’ citizenship status. For Example: Is your parent a U.S. citizen? Has your parent been physically present in CA for at least 3 years?
-
You DO NOT have to answer these questions, but if you do, we encourage you to answer them truthfully--- any information you provide will not affect your admission decision. This information is used only to help UC determine residency
