How to Sign a Transfer Admission Guarantee

Students enrolled in any one of the 110 California community colleges have the opportunity to solidify their acceptance to either a University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU) one year prior to transferring, thanks to one of the best-kept secrets in California community colleges: Transfer Admission Guarantees, or TAGs (UCLA's version is the Transfer Alliance Program, or TAP). The TAG and TAP programs assist community college students by guaranteeing them admissions into a UC or CSU should their program application be accepted.

Instructions

    • 1

      Complete 30 units. To be eligible to sign a TAG agreement, California community college students must have completed at least 30 UC transferable units from the community college system.

    • 2

      Maintain a GPA of 2.8 or higher. Students must have a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.8 GPA to submit a TAG application. Some majors and universities require a 3.0 GPA to be accepted.

    • 3

      Complete a TAG or TAP application and submit it online via the University of California transfer website. Please refer to the link in Resources to find out more on submitting your application.

    • 4

      Identify your projected classes. Meet with a transfer or general counselor at your community college and create a Student Educational Plan (SEP). The UC schools want to know what classes students are projected to take their last year before transferring.

    • 5

      Wait for a response. On average, TAG applications are due in September of each year. Typically, UCs let students know if their TAG agreement has been accepted by late October.
