Transfer Admission Programs — UC Irvine

Transfer Admission Guarantee

UCI's Transfer Admission Guaranteee (TAG) program offers on-the-spot, provisional admission to well-qualified students attending any California community college. Certain Southern California community colleges (see below) are visited regularly by UCI staff. Students on track to fulfill the program GPA and major preparation requirements described below may meet with a UCI representative, at either the community collegeor UCI, for an on-site review of their qualifications. Qualified applicants will be offered preliminary provisional admission to UCI and given recommendations for coursework that should be completed prior to transfer.

To be eligible for a TAG contract, applicants must complete (by the time of contract) one transferable English course and one transferable math course with grades of C or better; have a minimum 3.0 GPA (or the GPA specified for the particular major); satisfy minimum UC admission requirements, including the completion of 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter units); and submit a UC application for admission. (Arts and Humanities, Dance, Humanities and Arts, Humanities [Interdisciplinary], Music, Nursing Science and Pharmaceutical Sciences do not participate in the TAG program. Business Administration will not participate in TAG when the major becomes available in 2010.)

Transfer Student Services

Transfer Student Services provides assistance to prospective California community college transfer students. Programs for prospective transfers on the UCI campus each fall and spring offer information about admission, academic programs and preparation, and support services. In addition, UCI representatives regularly visit Southern California community college transfer centers to meet with students to discuss admission and planning for transfer, including lower division degree requirements.

UCI maintains articulation agreements with many California community colleges. The agreements identify how community college courses can be used to fulfill UCI’s lower division degree requirements. The agreements are available at UCI’s Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools, community college counseling offices and on the ASSIST website.
