UC transfer deadlines for fall 2027

The fall 2027 cycle started with TAG filing in September 2026 and runs until your final transcripts arrive in July 2027. The summer dates matter as much as the application, because an offer stays provisional until UC has your final records.

Checked against official UC and campus sources in October 2026.

What people miss

  • The Transfer Academic Update is required even if nothing changed since you applied.
  • TAG decisions can’t be appealed, and a TAG only holds if your application matches its campus and major.
  • Transcripts must come from every school, including summer, online and high school dual enrollment.
