UC TAP and UC TAG: Continuing Efforts to Enhance Transfer to UC
Panelist introductions • Brief overview • August 1 – the undergraduate application is available • How campuses are using the UC TAP tool • New/continuing issues with UC TAG process/application • It all starts with the UC TAP tool
TOOLS FOR PROSPECTIVE TRANSFER STUDENTS • UC Transfer Admission Planner (UC TAP) • UC Transfer Admission Guarantee (UC TAG) • UC Undergraduate Application
UC TAP SERVES STUDENTS INTERESTED IN ANY OF THE NINE GENERAL CAMPUSES

THE UC UNDERGRADUATE APPLICATION SERVES STUDENTS INTERESTED IN ANY OF • THE NINE UC CAMPUSES
HOW DO THEY INTERSECT? • UC TAP is used to begin the UC TAG application • UC TAP self-reported information can be imported into the UC application (student’s discretion) • Fall 2014 - 10,650 students imported their self-reported information from UC TAP to the UC application.
HOW ARE CAMPUSES PROMOTING • AND • USING THE UC TAP TOOL? • A communication tool (deadlines, events, updates, etc.) • Student appointments (before, during, and after) • Ongoing advisement over several years • Target specific subpopulations • UC Transfer Preparation Programs are using UC TAP
UC TAP BY THE NUMBERS • Last year on September 1 - 76,553 student accounts • This year on September 1 - 105,934 student accounts
WE’VE ONLY JUST BEGUN! • We need your help to spread the word • We’re working with high school prep programs • Reaching underrepresented students and underserved populations
FALL 2015 UC TAG – THE LATEST • Matrix is up to date, as are campus web sites • Campus contacts have been updated • Some alignment with UC-M and UC-E requirements • No changes to campus processes planned • Decision/Next Steps release schedule: 11/3, UCSB; • 11/5, UCI; 11/ 7, UCR; 11/12, UCSC; 11/14, UCD & UCM • UC campus faculty continue to set TAG criteria
As announced at this year’s Ensuring Transfer Success • UC Santa Barbara will no longer offer TAGs for the College of Engineering. • UC Santa Cruz has added major-prep screening criteria in chemistry, physics, and sociology.
RECURRING/NEW TAG ISSUES ADDRESSED • Concurrent enrollment programs • Repeated courses • Evaluation tools for UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz • Are there issues that haven’t been addressed?

DON’T FORGET ABOUT SECURITY – YOU’RE IN CHARGE • Each California community college has at least one administrator who responds to requests to access UC TAP / UC TAG tools. • Only approve individuals you know • Inactivate accounts of individuals that have left/retired • Establish at least two administrators, if possible
