Please list every school that you applied to on Naviance including CSUs and UCs. We can’t submit documents until you list them on Naviance. Also, make sure you note that you submitted your application as well.

Many schools require you to self-report your grades from your transcript into the Common App. After you’ve applied to those schools, make sure to:

• Create your portals

• Check that all portions of your part of the application were received

• Many schools will say that you need to submit your Self-Reported Academic Record to their system, even if you already did it on the Common App.

• Check each school and make sure it’s submitted.

• See the directions on the University of Oregon website here for an example.

Email your counselor, Ignaitis/Yeager, and teachers of the colleges you are not applying (one email to all) and complete this FORM (Only Students using their seq email can complete the form)

Process of Submitting Application and School Documents

When we submit documents for your 1st due date, we submit them to all the schools on your list and there is NO way we would know if you added or removed a school, unless you tell us.

The only transcripts that need to be requested AT THIS TIME are for OUT OF STATE public colleges where you are applying through the college portal not the Common App and some Non Common App private colleges that do not require a school report or LOR

*There is a five school day turn around for the Counseling Department to send transcripts.

You DO NOT REQUEST TRANSCRIPTS FOR:

1. UC/CSU - Not required with your application

2. ANY College Listed on your School Report/LOR Form- They will be sent automatically by your counselor with your school report

When a student submits their first application to any campus, regardless of the priority deadline, they will not be able to make any changes to any subsequent application. If students need to report any corrections or updates, please have them contact the campuses they applied to directly.

Next Steps: AFTER YOU SUBMIT APPLICATION

Soon after you apply, you will receive an email from the CSU with directions on how to set up its portal. Every school is a little different so make sure to keep track of your login information.

Check Portals and Emails Often

Every school is a little different so make sure to keep track of your login information. To meet all deadlines, check your email and portals weekly and DO NOT WAIT to complete your “To Do” list.

Campuses will send out notice of their admissions decision by March 31, 2025.

Lastly, applicants should apply for financial aid as soon as possible. At the CSU, about 80% of students receive some kind of financial aid, and 60% of undergraduates have their tuition completely covered by grants or other non-load aid.

Find out more about what to expect after you’ve submitted a CSU application.

CSU Application Deadline EXTENDED for some schools:

Later Deadlines are available for all schools except Fullerton, Long Beach, Pomona, San Diego, San Jose, San Luis Obispo.

Visit our Application Dates & Deadlines page for more information on which campuses are still open and their deadlines.

Students who expressed interest and the intention to apply to the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) on Cal State Apply for fall 2025 should check individual campus EOP application and documents deadlines on the EOP Admission by Term website. Document deadlines include letter of recommendations. Students can still go back into Cal State Apply to indicate they are interested in applying for EOP if they haven’t missed the campus deadline.

Supplemental applications

Some campuses and programs require submission of a supplemental application in addition to the UC application. These applications may include, but are not limited to:

• An application form

• A submission fee in addition to the UC application fee

• Letters of recommendation

• An audition

• A portfolio

• Videos

• Interviews

• Essays/personal statement

Deadlines for supplemental applications and required materials vary but are strictly enforced. Some require all materials to be submitted in December, with auditions or interviews taking place in January. Please encourage your students to check with the department and campus for current information.

If students do not submit required materials, they will not be considered for admission to that program. In some cases, campuses may not review students who do not submit required supplemental materials for admission to the campus.

Not all campuses have majors or programs requiring supplemental materials. For a complete list of required supplemental applications, see pages 61–63 of the Quick Reference Guide to UC Admission.

Did you get in ED or EA and have decided to attend a specific college?

Each campus has specific instructions for their individual process if an applicant wishes to cancel or withdraw their application from further consideration. This only applies to students canceling or withdrawing prior to admission.

See campus instructions for canceling/withdrawing a UC application.

Deadline to Submit: January 10th

We invite up to 15% of our freshman applicants to submit up to two letters of recommendation. A recommendation letter from a teacher, counselor, or another education professional can be helpful in our review as it can add context to the application. Letters of recommendation are not required, and the invitation to submit a letter should not be used as a predictor of admission.

Note that letters of recommendation are only accepted for invited students through our electronic systems. Please remind your students that upon receiving a request to submit letters of recommendation, to enter their recommenders information into our system.

For more information on this process, please review our Freshman Policy page.

Deadline: January 31, 2025

As in previous years, UC selects a random sampling of applicants who are required to verify information in their application. The selection and notification take place in mid-December. Applicants are notified by postal mail, email and text message that they have been selected for verification, along with instructions on how to meet the requirements.

The instructions sent to the selected applicants detail how to complete the process as well as a list of appropriate documentation. The deadline to respond is January 31, 2025. Failure to respond to the request by the deadline will result in cancellation of the application.

If you applied and qualified for Free/Reduced Lunch at Sequoia by completing the Income Verification Form and took the SAT, you can get a fee waiver from the College Board. Please email Ms. Ignaitis (Last Names A-L) or Ms. Yeager (Last Names M-Z) to receive your code.

Once you have your code, you will login to your College Board Account, go to My SAT, enter the code and then scroll down to the right hand side where it says "Don't Forget to use your College Board Application Fee waivers." It will generate a PDF that you will email to the UC office, see information above.

Now the recent round of Early Decision acceptances are out, some students are celebrating, but not everyone received the news they hoped for. However, students can take heart knowing that many fantastic institutions in the USA offer Early Decision II (Early Decision 2.) This second round of binding decisions could be a great option in US college admissions because it offers students a second chance to show their commitment to one of their top-choice colleges.

WHAT IS A DEFERRED COLLEGE ADMISSIONS DECISION?

A deferral means the college wants to review your application again with the regular decision pool of applicants. While it might feel like a rejection, a deferral is not a denial, nor does it mean there was something wrong with your application. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: “If you were deferred it means your application is strong enough to continue to be seriously considered by the admissions committee,” explains Hannah Mendlowitz, Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Yale University.

4 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU’VE BEEN DEFERRED

• Follow the instructions in the deferral letter. Some colleges may ask you to write a letter to confirm your interest, which is another opportunity to express why you feel the college is a good fit for you.

• Reach out to the admissions office. Keep communications positive, upbeat, and hopeful, no matter how disappointed you feel. If you are absolutely sure that you would attend the college if accepted in the regular decision round, say so.

• Send an update on your midterm accomplishments, for example, grades showing an upward swing, awards, or new projects and activities inside or outside of the classroom.

• Arrange for another letter of recommendation.

Every college is different!

• Some want it by the due date
• Some want it soon after the due date
• Some only need you to Self-Report - and submit when admitted

You need to call or email the admissions if you can't find it on their website for each college you are applying to.

What is sticker price?

So you’ve looked at a few types of schools and have seen their sticker prices (listed costs). For most students, there is still a BIG DIFFERENCE between the “sticker price” of a college and the actual amount they will end up paying.

• The difference between sticker price and what you pay is the financial aid you receive. Financial aid—in short—is money that helps you pay for college.

• Financial aid awarded to you is affected by two main factors:

• Need: you and your family’s financial need

• Merit: your academic performance and extracurricular activities

STICKER PRICE (LISTED COST) = Tuition & Fees + Food & Housing + Books + Miscellaneous Personal Expenses + Transportation

FINANCIAL AID = Grants + Scholarships + Loans + Work-Study

The difference between sticker price and what a student may pay can be big or small. For example, the listed

“sticker price” for the University of Notre Dame is $82,925

But look at what the average family cost is on the chart below

• Students were given a FAFSA/CADAA Worksheet in their Social Studies Class. This is just as a guideline for what information you will need to have in order to complete the FAFSA/CADAA starting in December. (sorry for any confusion)

• The district will be sending out information about AB 132, that requires all public school districts and charter schools in California to confirm that all high school seniors have completed a FAFSA or CADAA, unless the student opts out

• If families do not want to complete the FAFSA/CADAA, you can go to the district's Financial Aid Resources webpage to complete an opt-out form (scroll all the way to the bottom of the page)

Sequoia Union High School District submitted your GPA to Cal Grant November 6, 2024

Make sure your Infinite Campus information (name and address) is correct to avoid matching problems. If something needs to be change, contact the counseling office

No Verification Form is needed AFTER submitting your FAFSA/Dream Application!
