Transfer Admissions Agreements

A Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA) is a formal agreement between a student in attendance at Gavilan College and a receiving baccalaureate granting institution to which the student intends to transfer. The agreement guarantees admission to a transfer university a year in advance for the fall term. It may also guarantee admission into a major. Because the requirements of universities vary, it is advisable that students consult a counselor for more detailed information. Counselors will help you determine your eligibility for a TAA and complete the required documents. Call 408-848-4723 for a counseling appointment.

Below are the requirements for the Fall 2009 application cycle. The Transfer Admission Agreement must be signed by your counselor and Transfer Agreement Coordinator prior to deadlines. Planning is critical to ensure your TAA is processed and approved. Prior to scheduling a counseling appointment to initiate the agreement you must ensure that all your transcripts from every college or university you have attended are sent to the Gavilan College Admissions Office.

The University of California has developed a website that provides Transfer Admisssion Guarantee information, planning guide, and resources. Visit their site: UCTransfer.org.
