Did you apply for fall 2021 admission to a UC (University of California)? 

 

Transfer students are required to update their application with fall 2020 grades and confirmation/modification of winter/spring 2021 courses by the end of January.

Transfer applicants received an email message from UC in early January to complete the TAU. All transfer applicants must submit a TAU, including students who applied in December or early January to one of the three open campuses, and including students who have no fall 2020 grades or winter/spring 2021 courses to report.

Failure to complete the TAU may impact admission status, so please complete the TAU prior to the January 31 deadline. 

 

Here's a step-by-step video that shows how you complete the process!

Berkeley applicants:

 

On Friday, Jan 8, UC Berkeley emailed all transfer applicants with information about the MAP@Berkeley portal.  It has officially opened and is ready for you to begin working on the required supplemental forms.

 

This supplemental form is in addition to the TAU for the UC system. It is important that applicants are aware that failure to submit these forms will jeopardize the review of their application. The information on these forms vary depending on the major/college the student is applying to.

 

If you have any issues, you may either connect with Berkeley via the Contact Us form (for applicants) or by calling during our office hours at 510-642-3175.

 

Last day to submit the UC Berkeley Transfer Supplemental Form is January 31st 11:59 PM (PST). 

 

The Transfer Center is also offering Application Update Q&A Sessions.  If you have questions when completing your TAU or the Berkeley Supplemental, you are invited to attend; details are available on our Transfer Workshops page.
