I’m starting to panic and I don’t know what to do. I’ve applied to transfer to UC’s but I just noticed that one of the courses I have taken was missing in my submitted application!
It’s from summer 2015 semester, where I took one class and I got an A in. It’s not a requirement for the school I want to get into.
When applying, it gave me an option to copy the coursework I had in my UC TAP account. The summer 2015 course is saved in my UC TAP. However, it didn’t get transferred to my UC admission application.
Will I get in trouble for not having all courses I have taken listed in my application?
It’s not a big deal. Once you are accepted, you’ll let Admissions know about the class that was missing. It’s probably more of a big deal if you listed something that you didn’t take.
@ImnotVenice Send an email to docs@applyucsupport.net and they will update the application. They will respond in a few days and tell you whether you need to email each UC as well.
You won’t get in trouble. It will have no effect on application.
My kid had the same issue last year with a missing course, and the UC (in this case I only contacted Berkeley) basically told me not to bother with an update until he was accepted.
It says on the main page to send updates to them if courses missing. That has always been the standard protocol.
There are two emails listed on different pages. The one I cited and the one above. So OP should send to one.
@ProfessorPlum168 I’m not sure what your issue was but that seriously does not sound like their protocol. This is the first I’ve ever heard of the UC saying to not bother to send in a missing course. After all the applications are opened in January, the updates must also be sent to each UC via the portal.
So at the time that my kid applied to the UCs, circa end of Nov 2017, he hadn’t registered for Spring semester at his CCC, because HS students had last priority and couldn’t register until two weeks before school started, which would have been second week of Jan 2018. Anyhow, after registering, he sent an update to the address above but never got a response. I then contacted UCB, but admissions said they wouldn’t evaluate the extra course and asked to wait to send if he got accepted. Which luckily, he did get accepted.
So it was an upcoming course after the application period ended, which can be updated in TAU. You are supposed to add spring courses to the transfer academic update in January online. I’m sure he did that because why wouldn’t he? It’s open online often until March, although priority is by Jan 31. Starting around early-mid March they often stop reviewing whatever is not already in their possession.
But regardless, planned and already taken are two different things. OP is talking about a course taken in 2015 with a grade, and needs to sent to them.
@Ohm88 is right. I am missing a course from 2015. It is not a required course, but I’ve been repeatedly told that any course missing could really affect my chances of being accepted. I don’t think I can do a January update for this one.
