Does Cal know that you were taking a gap year with the intention of attending a college the following year?

The California system is different in many ways, but for most schools if you want to take a gap year, you need to accept admission then apply for a gap year. If you don’t accept admission (“claim a school”) they don’t hold your spot until the following year.

I am not familiar enough with the California schools to know, but do they really hold your spot indefinitely if you don’t communicate with them?
