Secure a Place at a UC with TAG!

Feeling insecure about applying to a UC because you don’t have a perfect GPA or SAT/ACT scores? 

Applying to UCs during your senior year of high school – along with 100,000 other students – can be daunting. 

Consider transferring from a community college with a Transfer Agreement Guarantee (TAG). Yup! 

This is much easier, less expensive, and it’s guaranteed!

Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Enroll as a full-time student in a California community college after high school.
  2. Complete 30 UC-transferable units (2 semesters) to apply for TAG (by Sep 30th of your sophomore year)
    1. English and Math courses (needs to be completed by end of spring semester freshman year)
    2. Can apply to only 1 UC for TAG
      1. UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz
  3. Meet minimum GPA requirements for your major (check with your preferred UC)
  4. Need to complete required preparation for your major (by end of spring semester sophomore year)
  5. Complete 60 UC-transferable units (by end of spring semester sophomore year)
  6. Be in good standing at the community college
    1. No Ds, Fs, or No Passes (okay if the course was repeated and received a C- or better)
    2. No more than 2 withdrawals in major preparation courses
    3. By spring semester of sophomore year, on more than 1 unrepeated grade with a D, F, or No Pass
  7. Apply for UC transfer application (by Nov 30th of your sophomore year)
    1. UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz
