Our Best Answer - How do I submit my SIR?

Submit SIR

To reserve your enrollment space at UC Santa Barbara, you must submit a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). To submit your SIR, log in to the applicant portal on the Office of Admissions website. The deadline to submit your SIR is displayed when you log in to the portal. Click on the "Steps to Enrollment" tab and then click on "Submit your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR)." Then, follow the instructions to complete the form and submit it electronically with your non-refundable SIR deposit.

Pay Deposit

Students must pay the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) deposit by e-check or credit card. International students who do not yet have a U.S. checking account may pay the SIR deposit by using Flywire. Flywire allows international payments from 200+ countries and territories, in more than 100 local currencies. A service charge applies. The link to the Flywire service is visible in the Application Status portal when accepting an offer of admission. Questions about Flywire may be directed to their multilingual customer support center.

If you are income-eligible based on the income reported in your UC application, an option for a fee waiver will be available when selecting your payment method.

Submit SIR after deadline

To submit your SIR after the deadline, email admissions@sa.ucsb.edu to request a late SIR submission and explain the reason for your late submission. To cancel your SIR after you have already submitted, please email admissions@sa.ucsb.edu.
