  2. 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. Also, some campuses may offer an early review of a students’ academic record 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.

  3. 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 at least 30 semester units at a CCC, and the last college the student attended in a regular session (F/SP or F/W/SP) before admission to a UC campus is a California community college. • Students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree, graduate degree, and/or professional degree cannot receive a 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. • Students concurrently enrolled in high school are not eligible for TAG.
