EAP reciprocity students are exchange students participating in the University of California Education Abroad Program. These students attend UCSC from one to three terms and are here as international students on the F-1 visa. To maintain legal status in the U.S., F-1 students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 units per term.
Review the University wide Office of Education Abroad Program web site for information on reciprocity exchanges. The Reciprocity Student Guide has specific information about housing, enrollment, obtaining the visa and much, much more. For information about emergencies and links to Consulates and Embassies review the Resources for Reciprocity Students page.
Students living on campus must close out your housing contracts before your program ends. If you do not cancel your housing contract within the housing cancellation period, you will receive a late fee and will not be able to obtain your Transcripts. Contact your housing coordinator for more information or review the Student Housing Services web site.
The ISSS office will request official UCSC transcripts to be mailed to your home university at the end of each quarter. Students may print out a copy of the unofficial transcript from the student portal or may pay for additional copies of the official transcript from the Office of the Registrar.
Your UCSC account balance must be in good standing, and all bills must be paid before a transcript can be released. Check with the UCSC billing office for more information on your account.
If you are unable to register for the course you want through the student portal, you may need permission to enroll in the course from your professor. This template provides a place for students to document the courses taken in the home university.
Some of the universities require EAP students to complete an enrollment verification form each term while they are studying at UCSC. EAP students may bring the enrollment verification form to the International Advisor for processing.
Use this form if you will be withdrawing from the EAP program.
Students may apply to study in Washing D.C. through the UCDC program.
