If you're interested in learning more about how to IGNITE your Student Success, Join us!
Once you have completed the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) process at my.ucsc.edu , apply for IGNITE through your UCSC email address. Please note, we have limited capacity in for this program, thus the applications that demonstrate thorough, detailed, and reflective responses will carry more weight in the selection process.
The application will open late May as incoming students submit their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). You will need to use your UCSC email to apply. The deadline to apply is Sunday July 13, 2025 by 11:59 P.M. (PDT).
Students will be contacted within three days from the final deadline with the results of the application review process. More information will follow by email, and we request that you check your UCSC email regularly.
Access your UCSC email: Two to three business days after accepting your admission offer (completed your Statement of Intent to Register), you become eligible for a campus email account. Log in to email.ucsc.edu with your CruzID and Gold password. Official email correspondence from the campus is sent to your UCSC email account.
