Honors Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
The Honors Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) is a tailored initiative aimed at high-achieving and self-driven students who meet specific admission criteria. Honors TAP provides a valuable opportunity for these students to elevate their academic performance and readiness for transfer by engaging in challenging honors courses. Historically, participants in the honors program have shown remarkable success, frequently taking on leadership positions within both the campus and the broader community. This success can be attributed to their inherent motivation, the supportive collaborative learning environments, and the mentorship provided by honors professors, educators, and fellow students.
While traditional transfer students face an average 20% admission rate, AVC Honors TAP Scholars achieve an impressive 60-70% acceptance rate. Students who complete five honors courses, maintain a 3.0+ GPA, and finish transfer major preparation earn the Honors TAP Certificate of Completion and potentially the UCLA & UCI TAP Certification. These certifications grant students priority consideration for transfer to top universities through transfer agreements established by the Honors Transfer Council of California (HTCC). For the UCLA TAP Agreement: www.admission.ucla.edu/apply/transfer/ucla-transfer-alliance-program. For the UCI TAP Agreement: honors.uci.edu/prospectivetransfer. Other agreements are available at www.honorstransfercouncil.org.
