UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION
APPLICATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONThe Office of Undergraduate Admissions is responsible for the admission of new undergraduate freshmen and transfer students. The office is also responsible for the addition of transfer units to the UCR records of continuing and readmitted students.Inquiries may be addressed to: Office of Undergraduate Admissions
The undergraduate application for admission to the University of California is contained in the UC Undergraduate Application for Admission and Scholarships packet. Application packets are available from the counseling office of any California high school or community college or from any University of California Admissions Office. Applications are available about four weeks before the opening date of the filing period. Apply in Writing Applicants should submit their completed application form together with the required nonrefundable application fee to the address listed on the form. Apply Online ucop.edu/pathways Prospective students may also submit their UC application electronically at the above address. Students may also download a copy of the application form and booklet in PDF format from the Web site. WHEN TO APPLY
To ensure that applicants will be considered for admission to the campus and major of their choice, the completed application and the application fee should be postmarked during the priority filing period. UCR will consider all applications filed during this period. After the priority filing period has ended, campuses will consider applications only if they still have openings for new students. This means some campuses may still be able to process additional applications in some majors and other campuses may not. Prospective UCR applicants who have not filed during the priority filing period should contact Undergraduate Admissions for more information about the advisability of filing a late application. ADMISSION AS A FRESHMANThe admission requirements summarized on the following pages are the minimum needed to be considered eligible for admission to UCR and other campuses of the University of California. Some programs are highly competitive and can accept only a limited number of students each year; completing the required high school courses with satisfactory grades may not automatically guarantee that a student will be admitted to majors with additional selection criteria. Check specific majors in this catalog to determine if additional requirements exist.The university defines a "freshman applicant" as a student who has graduated from high school and has not enrolled in a regular session of any collegiate-level institution. Summer sessions immediately following high school graduation are excluded in the determination. Freshman applicants who are not residents of California must meet higher scholarship requirements. See Nonresidents below for admission requirements. Advanced standing credit will be granted for an acceptable college course taken while still in high school if reported on a valid transcript issued by the college that conducted the course. Subject Requirementa. History/Social Science — 2 years requiredTwo years of history/social science, including one year of U.S. history or one-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of civics or American government; and one year of world history, cultures, and geography. b. English — 4 years required Four years of college preparatory English that include frequent and regular writing, and reading of classic and modern literature. Not more than two semesters of ninth grade English can be used to meet this requirement. c. Mathematics — 3 years required, 4 years recommended Three years of college preparatory mathematics that include the topics covered in elementary and advanced algebra and two- and three-dimensional geometry. Approved integrated math courses may be used to fulfill part or all of this requirement, as may math courses taken in the seventh and eighth grades that the student's high school accepts as equivalent to its own math courses. d. Laboratory Science — 2 years required, 3 recommended Two years of laboratory science providing fundamental knowledge in at least two of these three disciplines: biology (which includes anatomy, physiology, marine biology, aquatic biology, etc.), chemistry, and physics. Laboratory courses in earth/space sciences are acceptable if they have as prerequisites or provide basic knowledge in biology, chemistry, or physics. The appropriate two years of an approved integrated science program may be used to fulfill this requirement. Not more than one year of ninth grade laboratory science can be used to meet this requirement. e. Language Other Than English — 2 years required, 3 years recommended Two years of the same language other than English. Courses should emphasize speaking and understanding, and include instruction in grammar, vocabulary, reading, and composition. Courses in language other than English taken in the seventh and eighth grade may be used to fulfill part of this requirement if the student's high school accepts them as equivalent to its own courses. f. Visual and Performing Arts — 1 year required One year of visual and performing arts chosen from dance, drama or theater, music, and/or visual art. g. College Preparatory Electives – 1 year required (academic electives) One year of academic electives in addition to those required in "a–f" above, chosen from visual and performing arts (nonintroductory level courses), history, social science, English, advanced mathematics, laboratory science, and language other than English (a third year in the language used of the "e" requirement or two years of another language). If, at the time of high school graduation, students do not meet the subject and/or scholarship requirements for admission to freshman standing or do not qualify by examination, they may be admitted after meeting the requirements for admission as a transfer student. See the section below on Admission as a Transfer Student. Basic Eligibility RequirementsCalifornia ResidentsThere are three paths to satisfying the university's minimum admission requirements for freshman students: eligibility in the state-wide context, eligibility in the local context, and eligibility by examination alone. 1. Eligibility in the Statewide ContextEligibility in the Statewide Context is the path by which most students attain UC eligibility. To be eligible in the statewide context, students must satisfy the subject, scholarship, and examination requirements described on the following pages. Subject Requirement To satisfy this requirement, students must complete the 15 units of high school course work listed in the box on this page. (A unit is equal to an academic year, or two semesters, of study.) These courses are also known as the "a–g" subjects or requirements. At least 7 of the 15 units must be taken in the last two years of high school. California High School Students For students who attend high school in California, the courses taken to fulfill the Subject Requirement must be certified by the university as meeting the requirement and must be included on the high school's UC certified course list. The counselor or principal will have a copy of this list. The lists are available online at ucop.edu/pathways/infoctr/doorway_index.html. Scholarship Requirement The scholarship requirement defines the grade point average (GPA) students must attain in the "a–g" subjects and the SAT I (or ACT) and SAT II test scores that must be earned to be eligible for admission to the university. Students qualifying for admission in the statewide context must present an a–g GPA and test score total that meet the criteria on the Eligibility Index Table on the following page. The university calculates the GPA in the "a–g" subjects by assigning point values to the grades earned, totaling the points, and dividing the total by the number of "a–g" course units. Points are assigned as follows: "A"=4 points, "B"=3 points, "C"=2 points, "D"=1 point, and "F"=0 points. Only the grades earned in "a–g" subjects in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades are used to calculate the GPA. Courses taken in ninth grade can be used to meet the subject requirement if a grade of "C" or better was earned, but they will not be used to calculate the GPA. Honors Courses The university assigns extra points for up to 4 units of university-certified honors-level and advanced placement courses taken in the last three years of high school: "A"=5 points, "B"=4 points, "C"=3 points. No more than two years of UC-approved honors-level courses taken in the tenth grade may be given extra points. A grade of "D" in an honors or advanced placement course does not earn extra points. The courses must be in the following "a–g" subjects: history, English, advanced mathematics, laboratory science, foreign language, and visual and performing arts, and they must be certified as honors courses by the university. In these fields, as well as in computer science and social science, courses that are designed to prepare students for an Advanced Placement Examination of the College Board or a Higher Level Examination of the International Baccalaureate and college courses that are transferable to the university are acceptable honors-level courses. "D" and "F" Grades in the "a–g" courses must be repeated or validated. The student's counselor can determine how these grades can be improved and how the university will use them in evaluating the scholarship record. Grades for repeated courses in which initially a grade of "C" or better was earned will not be used. Examination Requirement Students must submit the following test scores: • Either the SAT I: Reasoning Test or the ACT. The verbal and mathematics scores on the SAT I must be from the same sitting. The ACT composite score must be submitted. • Three SAT II: Subject Tests, including Writing, Mathematics Level 1 or Level 2, and one test in one of the following areas: English literature, foreign language, science, or social studies. SAT Program Tests. To register for SAT tests, a student must obtain a registration packet from the high school counselor or register online at http://www.collegeboard.com.
ACT Assessment Test. To register for the ACT Assessment, a student must obtain a registration packet from the high school counselor or register online at http://www.act.org.
1Test Score Total equals:
[SAT I composite score] +
[2 x (SAT II Writing score + SAT II Mathematics score + third required SAT II score)]
ACT to SAT I Conversion
2. Eligibility in the Local ContextUnder the Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) path, the top 4 percent of students at each participating California high school are designated UC eligible and guaranteed admission to one of UC's eight general campuses. To be considered for ELC, a student must complete 11 specific units of the subject requirement by the end of the junior year. With the assistance of each participating high school, the university will identify the top 4 percent of students on the basis of GPA in the required course work. The 11 units include: 1 unit of history/social science, 3 units of English, 3 units of mathematics, 1 unit of laboratory science, 1 unit of language other than English, and 2 units chosen from among the other subject requirements. The university will notify ELC students of their status at the beginning of their senior year. A student designated UC-eligible through ELC must submit the university's undergraduate application during the November filing period and complete remaining eligibility requirements — including the subject and examination requirements — to enroll. ELC students are guaranteed a spot at one of UC's eight undergraduate campuses, though not necessarily at their first-choice campus. 3. Eligibility by Examination AloneStudents who do not meet the requirements for Eligibility in the Statewide Context or Eligibility in the Local Context may be able to qualify for admission to the university by examination. To satisfy the minimum requirements for eligibility by examination alone, students must achieve a composite score of 31 or higher on the ACT or a total score of at least 1400 on the SAT I. In addition, they must earn a total score of 1760 or higher on the three SAT II Subject Tests with a minimum score of 530 on each test. Students cannot qualify for admission by examination alone if they have completed 12 or more units of transferable course work at another college or university following high school graduation, or if they have taken transferable college courses in any subject covered by the SAT II Subject Tests. NonresidentsThere are two paths to UC eligibility for nonresidents at the freshman level. The first is the same as described above under Eligibility in the Statewide Context and the second is the same as described above under Eligibility by Examination Alone, with the following exceptions: Scholarship Requirement Students whose GPA is 3.40 or above satisfy the minimum scholarship requirement if they achieve the test score indicated in the Eligibility Index Table, under Nonresidents. Admission by Examination Alone Students must earn a composite score of 31 or higher on the ACT or a total score of at least 1400 on the SAT I. The total score on the three SAT II Subject Tests must be at least 1850 with a minimum score of 530 on each test.
College of Engineering Freshman applicants to the College of Engineering who excel in the academic criteria, with additional emphasis on mathematics and science preparation, and who qualify for first-quarter calculus are selected. Students not qualifying for specific engineering majors who meet campus selection criteria are considered for Engineering (Prep). Division of Biomedical Sciences Applicants who excel in the academic criteria, with additional emphasis on mathematics and science preparation, are considered. The following are essential: a) at least three high school laboratory courses; b) mathematics competency so as to qualify for college-level calculus; and c) English composition proficiency so as to qualify for placement either in ENGL 001A or BSWT 001. Students not qualifying for the Biomedical Sciences major, but meeting campus selection criteria, are considered for their alternate major. Studio Art Students who wish to declare a major in Art must submit a portfolio or work consisting of five slides or digital prints of original work. Students whose portfolios are approved will be admitted to the major. Guidelines for submission are available from the Department of Art and from the offices of Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools. Student Conduct Disciplinary suspension or dismissal from a previously attended educational institution is considered in the admission decision. Transfer Credit Transfer credit may be granted to a freshman applicant for an acceptable college course taken while still in high school when an official transcript is received from the college that conducted the course. International BaccalaureateThe university grants 8 quarter units credit for each International Baccalaureate (IB) higher level examination on which a student scores 5 or higher. Higher level examinations are considered honors courses. The university does not grant credit for subsidiary level examinations.Some higher level examinations may be considered equivalent to freshman level courses in the subject and may be used to satisfy general education or breadth requirements. The units granted for IB examinations are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major or the maximum number of units one may accumulate prior to graduation from the university. Students who enter the university with IB credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students nor are they required to graduate earlier. International Baccalaureate Examination Credit
Advanced PlacementThe university grants credit for all College Board Advanced Placement Tests for which a student scores 3 or higher. The credit may be subject credit, graduation credit, or credit toward general education or breadth requirements, as determined by each college office.The units granted for AP tests are not counted toward the maximum number of credits required for formal declaration of an undergraduate major or the maximum number of units a student may accumulate prior to graduation from the university. Students who enter the university with AP credit do not have to declare a major earlier than other students, nor are they required to graduate earlier. College courses taken prior to or after enrolling at the university may duplicate the content of AP examinations. In these cases, the university may not award credit for both the course and the AP exam. The university grants credit for Advanced Placement tests as described in the following charts: College Board Advanced Placement Examination Credit
In addition to the high school subjects required for admission to the university, certain preparatory subjects are recommended for many university curricula to give students an adequate background for their chosen field of study. Details of lower-division requirements are found in this catalog. A California resident needing additional preparation is advised to attend one of the many California community colleges. There students can take courses applicable toward the requirements of the college or school of the university in which they wish to enroll. Subject A Every undergraduate is required to demonstrate an acceptable level of ability in English composition. For further details, see Subject A requirements in the Undergraduate Studies section of this catalog. ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER STUDENTThe university defines a transfer applicant (advanced standing applicant) as a person who has been a registered student in another college or university or in college-level extension classes other than a summer session immediately following high school graduation. A transfer applicant may not disregard a college record and apply for admission as a freshman.The College of Engineering (except Computer Science) accepts applications for only the fall quarter because courses are sequential, beginning in the fall. Applications to Computer Science will be accepted for any quarter. The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences accepts applications for fall, winter, and spring quarters for most majors. Biology and Biological Sciences only accept applications for fall and winter quarters, while Biochemistry, Biomedical Sciences, and Chemistry only accept applicants for fall quarter because courses are sequential. The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences accepts applications for fall, winter, and spring quarters. Transfer Admission Requirements There are several ways to meet the university's minimum admission requirements for transfer students, as described below. The path used depends on the degree to which students have satisfied the University of California minimum eligibility requirements for freshmen at the time they graduated from high school. In all cases, applicants must have at least a "C" (2.00) average in all transferable course work.
High School Proficiency Examination Transfer applicants who have passed the examination must also meet regular university entrance requirements. High school eligibility must first be established for applicants with less than 90 quarter (60 semester) units of transferable credit. Selection Criteria UCR attempts to accommodate as many qualified students from other universities and colleges as possible, particularly as juniors and seniors. However, in some circumstances selectivity beyond UC eligibility is required. Applicants to the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering majors, and those with 150 units or more are subject to screening beyond the minimum admission requirements for transfer students. Majors in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences Transfer applicants to majors in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences should have an overall GPA of 2.70 or better and have completed all lower-division requirements for their intended major, as described in this catalog. Short of completing all lower-division major requirements, transfer applicants should have completed, at a minimum, at least two of the science and/or math year-long lower-division sequences appropriate to the specific major. See Admission to Majors under the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences section of this catalog. Further information can be obtained by calling the College Student Affairs Office at (909) 787-7294. Business Administration Transfer applicants to Business Administration must have completed all breadth requirements or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) and 7 of the 10 prerequisites for the major and present an overall transferable unit GPA of 2.50 or better (see Business Administration under the Courses and Curricula section of this catalog). UC-eligible students who have not met the above requirements may be admitted in a business preparatory status or may be considered for their alternate major. Further information may be obtained by calling The A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management Student Affairs Office at (909) 787-4551. Majors in the College of Engineering Transfer applicants to Engineering majors should have completed the prerequisites for the major (see Engineering sections under the Curricula and Courses section of this catalog) and have attained junior level standing (90 quarter units). UC-eligible students not qualifying for the major are considered for admission to their alternate major. Prerequisite information can be obtained by calling The Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering Office of Student Affairs at (909) 787-5651. Studio Art Students who wish to declare a major in Art must submit a portfolio or work consisting of five slides or digital prints of original work. Students whose portfolios are approved will be admitted to the major. Guidelines for submission are available from the Department of Art and from the offices of Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools. 150 Quarter Units or More UC-eligible applicants with 150 quarter (100 semester) units or more of transfer credit will be reviewed by the dean of the college for completion of a specified pattern of courses that provides continuity with upper-division courses within the major. Student Conduct Disciplinary suspension or dismissal from a previously attended educational institution is considered in the admission decision. UC Intercampus Transfer A regular undergraduate student who is registered on any campus of the university may apply for transfer to another campus of the university by filing the University of California Undergraduate Application. Fees and procedures are the same for all undergraduates, and there is no special procedure for intercampus transfer. An undergraduate student in good standing, currently registered on the UCR campus, may apply for intercampus visitor status at another UC campus for one term. Forms and instructions are available at the Office of the Registrar, 1100 Hinderaker Hall. Nonresident Transfer Applicants The minimum admission requirements for nonresident transfer applicants are the same as those for residents except that nonresidents must have a GPA of 2.8 or higher in all transferable college course work. ADMISSION TO SPECIAL CATEGORIESApplications for admission to special categories must be filed before the application closing date and should be accompanied by a statement of goals. Please contact Undergraduate Admissions for further details. Students with no specific degree plans or goals are encouraged to enroll in courses through University Extension.Limited Status A person who holds a bachelor's degree or has completed a substantial amount of college work and who, because of special circumstances, requires specific courses toward a definite objective and for a limited period may apply for admission in Limited Status. Eligibility for admission is determined by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and the status requires the approval of the dean of the applicant's college or division. Admission is for a specified period of time, and the student must maintain a prescribed scholastic average. Units earned are not transferable to an advanced degree. Special Status A person over 21 who has not had the opportunity to complete a high school program or a substantial amount of college work but who, because of special needs, requires specific courses towards a definite objective and for a limited period may apply for admission in Special Status. Admission in Special Status is not granted to those direct from high school or for the purpose of making up admission deficiencies. Similar rules apply as for Limited Status students discussed previously. Second Baccalaureate Occasionally, a student whose educational objective has changed substantially after receiving the bachelor's degree may be considered for admission to a program for a second degree. Admission to a second baccalaureate program requires the approval of the dean of the student's college. The second baccalaureate requires senior residency and is subject to the university requirements for graduation, as well as the requirements of the college in which the second degree is to be taken, including all breadth, distribution, and major requirements. Applicants must be fully eligible for admission to the university, and their records must indicate strong probability of success in the new area.
ADMISSION OF INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTSThe credentials of an international applicant — a student who holds or expects to hold a student, exchange, visitor, diplomatic, or any other visa and who wishes to attend school in the United States as an undergraduate — are evaluated in accordance with the general regulations governing admission. An application and fee should be mailed to the address listed on the application form or students may apply electronically during the priority filing periods at ucop.edu/pathways.Official certificates; detailed transcripts of record, including hours and marks; Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL); course syllabi; and confidential financial statement should be submitted to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions early in the appropriate application filing period. This will allow time for exchange of necessary correspondence and, if the applicant is admitted, will help the student in obtaining the necessary passport visa. An applicant from another country whose native language is not English may be admitted only after demonstrating a command of English sufficient to permit the student to profit by instruction in the university. Nonimmigrant visa applicants are required to take the TOEFL and score a minimum of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based). Arrangements to take the test may be made by writing directly to: TOEFL, Educational Testing Service
Results of the test should be forwarded to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Applicants living locally should write to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (see address below) for further information concerning other test options or completion of an acceptable English composition course to clear the requirement. Generally, financial assistance and scholarships from the university are not available to the nonimmigrant-visa student. International students must provide proof that sufficient funds will be available to meet their educational commitments while studying in the United States. International students are considered to be nonresidents of California and are required to pay the nonresident tuition in addition to fees paid by legal residents of California. Please direct all inquiries regarding the undergraduate admission of international students to: International Specialist
CREDITS, TRANSCRIPTS, AND TEST SCORESCredit for English-as-a-Second-Language Course Work Students whose first language is not English may receive up to 12 quarter-units of credit for English-as-a-second-language course work. Students may receive workload credit for courses taken beyond this 12-unit limit but will not receive additional credits applicable to the bachelor's degree.Credit for Native Language Students whose first language is not English may receive credit for course work in their native language and literature, provided such courses were completed on the college level in the country of the vernacular, or on the upper-division or graduate level at UCR or another accredited English-speaking institution. Unit Credit for Courses Taken Elsewhere The university grants unit credit only for courses consistent with its curriculum that have been completed at other accredited colleges and universities. To be accepted for credit, the courses must be comparable to those offered at the university. The decision regarding the acceptability of courses taken at an institution other than the university rests with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The decision regarding the applicability of such course work in satisfaction of degree requirements rests with the faculty of the particular school or college in which the student plans to enroll. As an integral part of the system of public education of California, the university accepts, at full unit value, approved transfer courses completed with satisfactory grades in the community colleges of the State of California. After a student has earned 105 quarter (70 semester) units acceptable toward a university degree, no further unit credit will be granted for courses completed at a community college. Subject credit, however, may still be earned. Transcripts and Test Scores The Office of Undergraduate Admissions requires complete, accurate, and up-to-date information about a student's academic program and work in progress in order to process and respond to the application in a timely manner. The transcript and other documents submitted as part of the application become the property of the university; they cannot be returned or forwarded in any form to another college or university. Freshman Applicants Applicants will be notified if a preliminary high school transcript is required. Applicants are responsible for asking testing agencies to report examination scores for either the SAT I or ACT Assessment test and three SAT II Subject Tests to the UCR Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Prior to enrollment all admitted students are required to forward an official final high school transcript showing date of graduation, final transcript(s) for college work attempted, and official Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate scores. Transfer Applicants Applicants will be notified if the university requires a preliminary transcript(s). Applicants must request a final transcript from each college attended. A transcript from the last high school attended may also be required. Attendance at any other school or college after an application has been filed is considered to be part of the student's record and must be reported to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. NOTIFICATION OF ADMISSIONEach application is considered individually; therefore, the length of time before notification may vary depending upon the circumstances of each applicant. Most fall quarter freshman applicants are notified of their status by March 31; transfer applicants are notified by May 1. In some cases, complete transcripts of course work are required before a final decision can be made.The target dates stated above apply to those applicants who filed during the priority period (November 1–30). Applicants filing after the priority period will be notified on a rolling basis in the spring. When offered admission by the university, the student is asked to sign and return a Statement of Intent to Register accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of $100. This amount will be applied toward payment of university fees, provided the student registers in the quarter to which the student was admitted. CONCURRENT ENROLLMENTTaking courses at another college or university, including UCR Extension, while in residence at UCR is called concurrent enrollment. This is not allowed during the first quarter in residence at UCR. See Registration section for the policy regarding concurrent enrollment for continuing students.REAPPLICATIONApplication for admission is for a specific term. If the student is not eligible for admission, or is admitted and does not register, the university will require a new application and an application fee if the student wants to be admitted to another quarter. The new application will be considered in light of the admission requirements in effect and the space available on campus.RESOURCES FOR ADMISSIONEarly Academic Outreach Pre-University Service ProgramOffice of Relations with Schools and EOP
One of the programs designed to assist disadvantaged intermediate and secondary school students in making their aspiration for a college education a reality is Early Academic Outreach. The program works closely with students, counselors, and parents to provide information on college preparation.
