Transfer admission guarantee (TAG)
Six UC campuses offer the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program for California community college students who meet specific requirements.
By participating in TAG, you may receive early review of your academic records, early admission notification and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework.
Keep in mind: TAG applications are due Sept. 30, but you can only apply for a TAG at one campus. To keep your options open, apply to other UC campuses during the regular application cycle (Nov. 1-30).
The TAG matrix [PDF] (TBD) provides a list of participating campuses and campus-specific requirements to qualify.
How to pursue TAG
1. Use the UC Transfer Admission Planner to complete the TAG application, and review it with your community college counselor and/or UC campus TAG adviser. You’ll need to submit it Sept. 1–30 for the fall term (May 1–31 for the winter/spring term).
2. Fulfill all remaining coursework and GPA requirements in your TAG agreement.
3. Fill out the application for admission to UC and submit it Nov. 1–30.
Currently, the six TAG UC Campuses are:
* Davis
* Irvine
* Merced
