UC online TAG for fall 2013 applicants

UC Davis is proud to collaborate with all California community colleges to provide students with increased access and an opportunity for early advising in order to achieve their academic goals. The online UC TAG Application provides you and your students with an efficient, paperless process to guarantee admission to UC Davis.

The UC Davis TAG program offers guaranteed admission to UC Davis in the major of choice through a formal agreement that outlines the courses a student must complete and the grade point average that must be earned before transferring. We value our continued partnership with California community college counselors to promote and review UC Davis Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs) for eligible students. Much of the continued success of this program results from the dedicated efforts of our educational partners. You will find information to help you begin the 2013-14 academic year TAG process here. Let the easy-click sections above guide you.
