  Complete two forms, one for UC Berkeley and one for the University of California. The form for UC Berkeley will be listed in your campus application portal ([MAP@Berkeley](https://apply.berkeley.edu/status)) under "forms" starting in January. You'll receive an email notification. For information on the second form for the University of California, please visit the [Transfer Academic Update](https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/applying-as-a-transfer/after-you-apply/transfer-academic-update.html) website.

  Transfer applicants to the following majors (except for the College of Letters and Science and the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society) will need to fill out a ‘major prerequisite’ form. Those applying to majors in either the College of Letters and Science or the College of Computing, Data Science, and Society should check [ASSIST](https://assist.org/) and the [Berkeley Academic Guide](http://guide.berkeley.edu) to ensure they have the major prerequisites.
