If there are changes to your academic record: If you add or drop a course, fail to earn a C or better in a course or enroll in a new college after you submit your application, log back in and update your information using the Transfer Academic Update (TAU). If you receive an offer of admission, be sure to confirm with the campus admission office that they are aware of the deficient grade or schedule changes.
Keep in mind: We cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after a new TAU has been received. Make sure to save a copy of your correspondence just in case.
If there are changes to other sections of your application: Minor changes to your activities, awards, volunteer work or employment are unlikely to have an impact on your admission decision.
