<p>I'm a little nervous because I volunteered for about a month in a library, and I didn't have any documentation when filling out my application. So, I just guessed how many weeks I did. </p>
<p>If they do audit me, I can definitely go and get the documentation. But if I send them my documentation and they don't match up, will I be barred? </p>
<p>I'm absolutely terrified. I spent over two years in community college just to get enough credits to transfer to UCI. I don't want my admission decision to be hindered over a ignorant mistake.</p>
<p>I think they have already sent out the audits. Transfers do get them as well. If you didn’t get one by now, you probably won’t. For future applications, I would definitely only put down activities that you have concise information for or at least have that info at hand. I’m not judging you though since you did actually do the volunteering; it’s not like you blatantly lied (which is what they’re screening for). The UC’s know this and they give you the option when you get the large audit packet to contact them and request a different activity to be audited. </p>
<p>However if you can’t provide info for the second randomly audited activity…you might have some problems. If you are caught lying (or unable to provide proof of activities I suppose), not only will you be automatically rejected but you will be banned from applying to the UC’s forever. </p>
<p>That’s just a general…warning…incase anyone was wondering. I think you have nothing to worry about. I too was audited as a freshman applicant and it was terrifying. I felt like I was picked out because they obviously saw something wrong with my application. Don’t worry though as the level of proof they need is quite weak; I could have provided so much more proof in my case but a simple yearbook photo sufficed. In your case, just proof that you were volunteering (like a letter from a supervisor or something) at the library is more than enough. Realistically, I don’t think they expect applicants to be able to list their exact hours and I doubt they calculate exact hours themselves. EC activities matter very little for transfer applicants and it’s not like you made up an activity.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks.
Of the four ECs I put on my application, 2 of them are the ones I didn’t have documentation for.
But the one I mentioned about the library is the one I can send a request to get. I don’t think I’ll ask to audit another activity.</p>
<p>Good news! I contacted the librarian, and surprisingly, I was correct in my guess of how many hours I volunteered.
I now have her e-mail to provide proof if UC decides to audit me. </p>
<p>Now, if I can get proof of that other EC, I will be fine.</p>
