Transfer Admission Programs — UC Davis

Transfer Opportunity Program

The Transfer Opportunity Program (TOP) encourages community college students to transfer to UC Davis and provides support services to ease their transition. The cornerstone of the program is the TOP transfer adviser, who regularly visits each participating community college to work with counselors and students.

The TOP adviser provides information about admission and transfer requirements, academic programs, financial aid, housing, tutoring, campus life, and other services and programs. The adviser evaluates student transcripts to assure that admission requirements are met and that community college courses taken are transferable to the University. The TOP adviser also works with counselors and students to develop individual transfer admission agreements.

Participating community colleges:

American River, Cosumnes River, DeAnza, Folsom Lake, Foothill, Laney, Los Medanos, Napa Valley, Sacramento City, City College of San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Rosa, Sierra, Skyline and Solano Community.

Transfer Admission Guarantees

All California community colleges are invited to participate in the Transfer Admission Guarantee program. Students at the 94 participating community colleges may develop Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs) with UC Davis. With the assistance of their community college counselor, students draft a TAG for review by a UC Davis admissions representative. The agreement lists the courses that the student will complete at community college, with emphasis on courses required for admission, major prerequisites and breadth requirements. Students who comply with the agreement and apply for admission on time during the appropriate filing period are guaranteed admission to a specific quarter in advance.
