I'm looking into my transfer options and noticed something about a Fullerton College Transfer Admission Guarantee. Can anyone explain how this works and which universities are part of this agreement?
The Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program works by providing Fullerton College students the opportunity to achieve guaranteed admission to certain higher education institutions. This aim is to streamline the transition process, providing you with a clear outline of the coursework and grade requirements you need to fulfill in order to secure admission.
The specifics, such as the courses and GPA required, can differ between participating universities. You’ll generally need to meet with a counselor to create an educational plan and declare a TAG, and it’s typically required to complete this process a year in advance of your desired transfer date.
Now, as for the universities that have TAG agreements with Fullerton College, a list can usually be found on their school's website. At the time of writing this, a number of University of California (UC) campuses offer TAG programs, including UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. However, it's worth checking with a counselor at Fullerton for the most current list of participating universities.
Remember that each of these schools, while under the TAG program, might have different requirements, so it's really important to research each school or meet with a counselor before you start the TAG process.
