I got an email this morn from admissions-review@ucop.edu telling me that my Academic Transfer Update is due in 5 days, and that “Failure to submit this information within 5 days may cease our review of your application for admission.” But once I click the link to my UC application (https://apply.universityofcalifornia.edu/my-application/login), there wasn’t the option to do the Academic Transfer Update or any academic updates. I am confident this isn’t a phish because the email address and the update link are legit and genuine.
I looked up the Academic Transfer Update(ATU), and according to the official website (https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-transfer/after-you-apply/transfer-academic-update.html), it’s due on Jan 31, 2020. My guess is that their system caught a glitch and mistaken Dec for Jan since it’s 5 days from the 31 on the day of this writing, but I am not sure, and I am wondering if any of my fellow transfers have stumbled upon the same notice.
