PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITIES
Seven University of California (UC) campuses offer guaranteed transfer admission
to students from all California Community Colleges (CCC). Interested students must
meet campus-specific requirements to qualify for a UC TAG. By participating in a
TAG program, you can ensure your admission to a specific UC campus, some of
which offer an early review of your academic record, early admission notification (no
later than November 15, 2013 for a fall 2014 TAG), and specific guidance on major
preparation and general education coursework.
UCLA and UCB do not accept TAGs.
UCSD will not accept TAGs after Fall 2014 admissions

Who can file a TAG
•
•
Transfer students do not have to participate in TAG to be considered for admission. Non-TAG
students must also apply for UC admission during the appropriate application filing period (see
www.universityofcalifornia.edu/apply).
Only students transferring directly from a California Community College are considered for a
TAG, including international students (those with a visa). The University of California defines a
CCC transfer student as one who has completed over half of their units at a CCC. All UC TAG
campuses require students to meet this definition.
- Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree, graduate degree, and/or
professional degree cannot participate in TAG.
- Students who have previously enrolled at a UC campus during a regular term (not
including summer session) cannot submit a TAG application to return to that campus.
