What is Sacramento City College's transfer program like?

I'm looking into Sacramento City College and wondering about their transfer program. How well does it prepare students to transfer to places like UC Davis or other UCs? Is it a smooth process, and what support do they offer?

At Sacramento City College (SCC), there's a strong emphasis on preparing students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities, including the University of California (UC) system. One notable feature is their Transfer Center, which provides resources and services to support students interested in transferring. These services include transfer planning workshops, assistance with the application process, transfer fairs with representatives from various colleges and universities, and even college visits.

Additionally, they offer a program known as the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) to six UC campuses. This program allows eligible students to secure their spot for transfer a year in advance at partner UC campuses, including UC Davis, which you mentioned. To be eligible, students need to complete certain course requirements and maintain a specified GPA.

Further, SCC has an Honors Program which is designed to better prepare students for transfer to selective universities. Students who complete the Honors Program are given priority consideration when applying to certain partner institutions' honors programs or colleges.

It's also worth noting that the transfer success rate could vary depending on numerous factors. This includes the major you are interested in, the specific four-year institution you've set your sights on, your educational goals, and the effort you invest in the process. Generally, it's a good idea to work closely with a counselor to create an academic plan that aligns with your transfer goals and to take advantage of the resources the Transfer Center has to offer. They are there to help make the process as smooth as possible!
