I just checked my financial aid in the UCSC portal, and it says that I got the Regents scholarship. For UCR, there was a whole separate page that explains the benefits of the scholarship and it also says on the home page that I was given Regents. Does anyone know if there is a page like this somewhere on the Santa Cruz portal?
I have a question, although I’m not sure anyone will have the answer. I was admitted already, but changed one of the courses that I am taking in the spring quarter. I let them know and am waiting for their response, but how likely is the possibility of them withdrawing my admission? The course I replaced was not an IGETC requirement and the class I replaced it with is the same amount of units.
@kittykittymeow not 100% certain but I think its highly unlikely. If you still meet the unit requirement and the course wasn’t a major prereq I think you should be fine. Love your username btw ?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been lurking here the past couple weeks and decided to create an account today.
I still have not received a decision for my admissions yet. I am pursuing business management & economics, transferring with a 3.9 gpa.
My question is if you have not heard back yet, is that supposedly a good thing since you have not been denied?
I’m just anxious and stressed out waiting for these last couple admission decisions.
UCSC does rolling decisions, and there were still people being accepted in April last year as well. Of course, there are three options: acceptance, waitlist, or rejection, but I think as long as you have fulfilled all of the major requirements then you should get in since your GPA is so high. I have heard that UCSC tends to have trouble getting enough people to enroll, so they accept pretty much anyone who meets the basic requirements. Good luck!
If it’s not part of your admission contract I think it’s fine but you should still let each campus know what you did
They just got back to me letting me know everything is fine and my offer of admission still stands. Thank you to everyone who responded to me!
I’d be interested!
Really not familiar with or have any experience with financial aid packages. If anyone knows the answer to the following based on the information below I’d appreciate it.
I’m an independent student who already has health insurance. If I submit the health waiver will that deduct $3198 from the $35k total or is that cost shifted around so the total remains the same? Would like to avoid taking out unsub loans if possible. If the health waiver doesn’t lower the total I’d prepare to pay the $2338 out of pocket.
Health Ins. Grant

3,198.00
Federal Unsub Student Loan

2,338.00
I believe if you do the health insurance waiver your total cost of attendance just goes down by $3198. I think that is included in the COA because a lot of people do not have health insurance, and you are required to have it to be able to attend a UC. If you already have health insurance and you do not want to use UC SHIP, then you just submit the waiver and don’t pay for it.
@uctransfer2020 thats what I figured. Thanks!
@unknown1000 it took them eight days to get back to me.
@kittykittymeow how long did they take to get back to you?
I sent them the form around 12:30AM on the 13th and they got back to me around 3:30PM the same day, so less than 24 hours.
I got an email from UCSC saying I did not meet my major prep (Cognitive Science) but allowing me admission into any non-screening majors.
I just got an email from UCSC saying that I didn’t meet major prep for comp sci. I applied non tag. But they are allowing me admission into a non-screening major. How do I appeal or at least talk to the admissions. I for sure met all the major prep.
I got an email
To anyone under DACA, how much is the estimated cost per year? Mine is at 63k right now and doesn’t seem right.
@failerrod thats more than international, doesnt seem right.
@failerrod hey there, they probably have you as an a out of state/non resident for tuition purposes. I would contact UCSC financial aid and ask them if there is a residency questionnaire so you qualify for in state tuition. I’ve had to fill that out for three colleges already because they classified me as an out of state tuition student even though I’ve lived in Cali since I arrived here from my country in the late 90s
