Transfer Admission Guarantee

Guaranteed Admission Programs

Guaranteed Admission is more commonly referred to by the term Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG).  A TAG is a contractual agreement that provides DAC students guaranteed admission to a participating transfer college or university. A TAG may not be available for all majors, impacted programs, and colleges or schools at a participating TAG college or university. Students interested in completing a TAG must satisfy specified admission and course requirements in a timely manner in order to be guaranteed admission to a participating TAG college or university.

Upon confirming eligibility for a TAG, students are encouraged to meet with a DAC counselor or academic adviser and/or a university admissions representative (when available) to review and confirm course selection.

Participating TAG Colleges and Universities

¹ GPA and minimum unit requirements vary by major and/or college or university campus and remains subject to change. Supplemental information is available on the respective college/university guaranteed admission website.

² TAA/TAG admission for Winter and Spring terms to UC are subject to change. Visit this web page periodically for updates.

³ At least two-thirds (2/3) of the required subject areas must be completed at the time of Santa Clara University (SCU) TAA submission. For example, English, Math, and Science are required, thus, two of those three areas must be complete at the time the TAA is submitted.  Review the full SCU TAA criteria.
