UC and CSU Admissions Requirements Update - April 1, 2020
Pertinent Information for UC Admitted Students
As part of UC's ongoing effort to take proactive measures to limit the potential spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), campuses have transitioned from in-person events and programs for admitted students and families to virtual and online formats. These changes are in keeping with guidance from public health officials to avoid large gatherings as a way to limit community spread of the coronavirus. We understand that for visitors to campus who enjoy these events, the changes may be disappointing and we apologize for any inconvenience. The health and safety of the campuses and broader communities are of the utmost importance.
All campuses are planning a wide array of opportunities for freshman and transfer admitted students to learn more about campus and engage with admission staff in the coming weeks. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Virtual Open House
- Live chats
- Webinars (live and recorded)
- Phone, email and/or text opportunities
- Online presentations
- Social media events and programs

Financial Aid Update
We understand that your students and their families may be financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic now or in the coming months. Students and families who believe that their situation requires a re-evaluation of their financial aid should be advised to:
- Utilize the campus financial aid calculators to determine if the change in their finances would affect the amount of financial aid they are eligible to receive.
- If the calculator shows a change in financial aid eligibility they should contact the campus(es) that they have been admitted to for available appeal processes.
- Contact information, including the best way to reach the financial aid office during remote operations, is available through the student's portal or on the financial aid website. Follow-up to students will be handled by email responses, or telephone calls or virtual meetings as needed.
Please inform your students that such evaluations of financial aid are likely to occur later this summer, are considered on a case by case basis, and that process requirements can vary from campus to campus.
