Seven UC campuses offer guaranteed admission to California community college students who meet specific requirements. By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework.

Fall 2013 TAGs must be submitted online September 1-30, 2013.

Remember, we book our counselors two weeks in advance. Set your appointment for a TAG NOW to guarantee you make the university's TAG acceptance dates!
NOTE: If you already have a TAG or you are following the IGETC general education course sheet, you will be required to complete an IGETC Certification BEFORE the university you plan to attend will allow you to sign up for your first semester or quarter classes. The Transfer Counseling Center can do this for you! Once all your IGETC courses are completed with a posted grade of a "C" or better, call and set an IGETC Certification appointment with the Transfer Counseling Center!
