UCSB ADMISSIONS The UCSB Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) issues
the I-20 or DS-2019 documents that are necessary for international students to receive
a visa to enter the US. Before you can apply to OISS for one of these documents
that verify that you have been officially admitted to UCSB as an international student,
you first need to apply for admission to UCSB and then receive official undergraduate
or graduate acceptance. UCSB admissions procedures differ for undergraduates and
graduate students. Prospective undergraduates apply for UCSB admission online through
a general University of California application. The undergraduate application form
has a section where you can indicate UCSB as your preferred campus. Prospective
graduate students apply directly to a campus department or program through a general
form that is processed by the UCSB Graduate Division. The links below will take
you to the general UC and UCSB websites that provide more detailed information on
the application procedures for admissions and allow you to access the appropriate
application forms.
