WHO CAN TAG AND WHO CANNOT TAG
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 30 semester units at one or more CCC’s. 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 but can use it to attend another campus as long as
they meet the definition of a Community College Student.

HOW TO PURSUE TAG
Fill out an online TAG application and review it with your community college counselor and/or UC campus TAG advisor.
When your TAG is approved by the receiving campus…fulfill all remaining coursework and GPA requirements in your TAG agreement.
Apply for admission to UC during the appropriate filing period.
**Both TAG and Admission Application must be submitted in order for TAG to be valid
