Withdrawing Your UC Application After Submission

It happens in the best of circumstances. You may have submitted your application to one UC, or to several, and now wish to withdraw it.  First off, do not worry if you fall into this category. Sometimes students ask if the UCs will look negatively on them for withdrawing if they reapply a year or so later. The answer is no, it will not have a negative affect.
