Is providing the total family income mandatory for UCs and CSUs?

<p>In both the UC and CSU application, there is a section that asks for family income. I am required to fill out this part? If I am not, will it in anyway impact my chances of getting admitted if I dont write it?</p>

<p>hummm, I think that is only there to determine if you are eligible for the 4 free applications given for low income applicants. Usually you don’t have to disclose income at all if you are not applying for financial aid. But I don’t have access to that application right now. Did you read all the instructions to see?</p>

<p>Edit to add" looks like I was right,</p>

<p>“Other information, such as parents’ occupations and family income, are required only if you are applying for the Educational Opportunity Program or an application fee waiver.”</p>
