<p>For your award, I honestly don’t think it will matter that much–they’ll take your word for it. Remember, admission officers approach all applications they read by giving the applicant the benefit of the doubt–(that’s why you checkmark that contract at the end that says “I verify that all information I am entering is truthful…”, something like that). It’s not like they’re gonna purposefully audit you for this one tiny thing, and also remember that ECs matter WAY less for transfers than they do for freshmen.</p>
<p>I’m not too sure about the academic update, but if I recall correctly, it’s only IP or PL stuff you can change–you update your grades for fall 2014 and update what courses you’re taking in the spring 2015. If you need to change your grade for previous semesters, you have to do the process of submitting application change/calling them up. You are supposed to have all of that accurate when you hit submit before December 1; after all, it’s meant to be directly copied from your transcript. It even matters if your grades have +/- or not because those affect the UC GPA too.</p>
<p>Again, like I said I’m not completely sure cause I’m new and applying for next term too–but here’s the academic update info from the UC website itself: <a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/update-transfer-application/”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/update-transfer-application/</a></p>
<p>Maybe an alumni/past transfer student can provide concrete info/experience?</p>
<p>-EDIT just came across this but look for @Cayton’s post here (#353): <a href=“2015 Application Questions, Comments, and Support - #346 by luckie1367 - UC Transfers - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1674508-2015-application-questions-comments-and-support-p24.html</a></p>
<p>That seems to verify that you can’t change grades for terms prior to fall 2014. If you need to do so, you should contact them.</p>
