After you apply 

Once you submit your UC application, keep your contact information updated in MyAdmission and monitor your email from UC Davis. Use this checklist to stay on track while you wait for your admission decision.

Checklist 

Confirm and prepare 

  • Look for a confirmation email from UC Davis in December that says you successfully submitted your application.
  • Add UC Davis to your email contacts to ensure messages reach your inbox — check your junk mail folder!

Update your records 

  • Use MyAdmissions to report any changes to your school, courses or grades — like failure to earn a C or better in a course.
    • Transfer applicants are required to submit the Transfer Academic Update, or TAU, by Jan. 30. You must include final grades from your last term and a list of all in-progress or planned courses.

Watch key dates 

  • Review important deadlines for admission decisions, financial aid, test score reporting and how to submit your Statement of Intent to Register, or SIR — if you are admitted to UC Davis.
  • Check MyAdmissions in mid-March (first-year applicants) or mid- to late April (transfer applicants) for your admission status.

Next steps after your decision 

  • Admitted students: Accept your offer, report any changes to your academic record, and submit official transcripts and test scores through MyAdmissions.
  • Waitlisted applicants: Follow the steps to accept a waitlist offer and track your admission status.
  • Denied applicants: Learn about your options to enter UC Davis in the future.
