Committing to UC Santa Cruz without a signing day

UC Santa Cruz competes in Division III, which offers no athletic scholarships and has no signing periods. Your commitment is the admission letter and the roster spot, and the school may hold a non-binding celebratory signing once you are admitted.

Those are the dates UC Santa Cruz commits usually post. Use COMMITTED when your coach says it is public; there is nothing to put SIGNED on unless the school holds a ceremony. More on how D3 announcements work on the Division III commitment graphics page.
