By participating in a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admission notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework.
UC TAG Application filing period: September 1-31 (for fall admission) and May 1-31 (for winter admission). File your application on-line at https://uctap.universityofcalifornia.edu/students/
