PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITIES
Six 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, 2014 for a fall 2015 TAG), and specific guidance on major
preparation and general education coursework.
DAVIS
IRVINE
MERCED
RIVERSIDE
SANTA BARBARA
SANTA CRUZ
BERKELEY, LOS ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO do not accept TAGs.

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.
