UC Officials Apologize for Misdirected E-Mails

UC Davis officials apologized Friday for mistakenly sending 90 applicants e-mails telling them they should sign up for a summer advising program.

The e-mails were sent this week by UC Davis’ new electronic system, which is designed to simplify the application and enrollment process, said Yvonne Marsh, assistant vice chancellor for enrollment services.

The 90 applicants were trying to transfer from community colleges to UC Davis. They had received e-mails in April notifying them that they hadn’t been admitted for the next school year, Marsh said.

But, on Wednesday, the campus system sent students a reminder about the summer program.
