UC's Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program guarantees admission to highly qualified CA Community College students. Admission, to most – but not all – majors can be guaranteed to six UC campuses: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. TAG has eligibility requirements, complete an online TAG application (different from the UC application), and apply TAG to one (1) UC campus.
To apply for TAG, students must have a Transfer Admission Planner (TAP) account and start populating the planner with college courses/semesters taken. Create the TAP account early to keep on track with UC transfer goals. Beauty of this – all coursework per semester entered into TAP will be downloaded into the UC application when student is ready to apply. One section done!
To pursue TAG, students must complete the online TAG application and submit during the appropriate filing period:
Students who have already earned a bachelor’s graduate and/or professional degree; students previously enrolled at a UC campus during regular term (not including summer session only who plan to return to that same campus; and students concurrently enrolled in high school at the time of TAG application submission.
UC Pathways+ guarantees admission with TAG + takes the guesswork out of major course requirements + opportunity to graduate on time or early! If your major is available on UC Transfer Pathways and the UC campus you are applying has TAG for your major, take advantage of Pathways+!
Talk with your Coastline counselor to discuss TAG, major and GPA requirements and develop your student education plan that will allow you to transfer with a guarantee to one of the six UC campuses.
