Fall 2024 Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) application
The Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program guarantees admission to a participating UC campus and major for students who meet TAG criteria. While a student may submit only one TAG, they are not obligated to attend if admitted and may apply to other campuses. Six UC campuses offer an admission guarantee for junior transfer applicants. These include UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz.
Students can apply for TAG via the UC Transfer Admission Planner (UC TAP). The TAG filing deadline for fall 2024 is September 30. Note, transfer applicants who submit a TAG application are still required to submit the UC application during the October 1–November 30 filing period.
With six campuses participating in the TAG program, we know counselors want answers to common questions in one place. The 2024–2025 TAG matrix is available. This matrix outlines major TAG criteria across the six campuses in a format that is easy to read and compare.
Information includes:
- Who is eligible and when to file a TAG
- Any excluded majors from a particular campus
- GPA and unit requirements
- Any IGETC requirements
- TAG contact information for each campus
