How do San Joaquin Delta College transfer agreements work?

I'm considering transferring from San Joaquin Delta College to a university. How do transfer agreements work, and which universities have agreements with Delta College? I'm hoping to streamline my transfer process and make sure my credits count.

San Joaquin Delta College has Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) agreements with several universities, which provide a path for students to transfer seamlessly from Delta College to these institutions. Through these agreements, if you meet specific requirements, you can be guaranteed acceptance to certain schools.

Typically, the process for setting up a TAG involves selecting your target university early in your time at Delta. You'll then work out a specific educational plan, often through advising resources at Delta College, which maps out the classes you'll need to take to meet transfer requirements.

Common agreements often include completing a certain number of credits, achieving a minimum GPA, and completing specific prerequisite courses. Meanwhile, your major can also play a role in the agreement, as some programs may not fall under the TAG.

As per recent records, Delta College has TAGs with several UC campuses - UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. Furthermore, Delta College also has transfer arrangements with various private and out-of-state universities like the University of the Pacific and the University of Nevada, Reno.

Remember, though, that TAGs are not the only route to transfer, and regular admission applications are also an option. So, seek guidance from the advising resources at Delta to help decide on the best path forward.
