For Cal Poly SLO, you do not list awards and activities on the application. The student only lists hours spent on the EC’s, if there is a leadership role involved and if they have a job and it is major related. The CSU’s have added a question regarding National merit scholar which can help.

For the UC’s, yes these awards and activities would help in the application review. See the 13 areas of application review criteria.
