can i edit grades after submitting application?

dont really know if this is the right forum so sorry. I might be getting a grade change from a B to an A, but I won’t know until after the application deadline. If i do get the grade change, will I be able to go back into my application and update my grades? im only applying to UC’s and CSU’s. dont really know their policy.

No, you cannot edit your grades once the application has been submitted. You can send an update to each school through the student portals, however, it is up to each school if they will consider the update in their decision.

Go here for instructions on how to update your information in your application: http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/index.html. Though not specifically mentioned therein, the change you are contemplating would be one subject to the procedures stated in the section “If there are changes to your academic record…” You no longer have to separately notify each campus of your change but instead can provide it to the “UC Application Center” whose email and mailing address appear on that page.
