Transfer Admissions Agreements

Overview

A Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG), 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 a fall term admission.A TAG 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 TAG and assist with the required documents.

Seven UC campuses participate in the TAG program and require an online TAG application.Planning is critical to ensure your TAG is complete, processed and approved. Schedule your counseling appointment prior to application submission deadlines. Counseling appointments are web-scheduled:www.gavilan.edu/counseling

Determine Eligibility for TAG

Students can:

review the TAG basic eligibility by accessing university links below
read the university website (follow the links) for major preparation requirements
collect all transcripts (Gavilan and any college attended)
collect all test scores (Advance Placement, CLEP, IBB)
calculate transferable units and transferable GPA and compare with minimum TA requirements

After completing steps 1-5, students can schedule a counseling appointment to review UC eligibility and TAG. You must hand-carry transcripts and test score information to your appointment. Counseling appointments can be scheduled online: www.gavilan.edu/counseling
