Navigating college application platforms can be challenging despite the best efforts of developers to include additional explanations in Help sections or infotips (those little letter i’s that you hover over). For the Common App, there’s the AXS Companion. If you’re applying to any of the University of California’s nine campuses, every year, UC Santa Barbara produces a series of video tutorials to help freshmen applicants. For 2025-2026, here’s the UCSB UC Application Tutorial Fall playlist. For transfer applicants, the Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) University Transfer Academy provides robust support for their students planning to transfer to a four year university, and has generously shared their UC Application Made Easy playlist . Cheers! You’ve got this!
