How can I participate in Santa Rosa Junior College's TAG transfer program?

I'm interested in the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program at Santa Rosa Junior College. What steps do I need to take to participate, and which universities are part of this program?

The Transfer Admission Guarantee program at Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) offers a streamlined process for students interested in securing their admission to a four-year university.

First, you need to be enrolled at SRJC and consistently be in good academic standing with a GPA that meets the standards of your desired four-year institution. You should also develop an academic plan with an SRJC counselor, which maps your course load at SRJC and aligns with your target degree at the four-year university.

It's important to adhere to this academic plan, as fulfilling the specific course and degree requirements guarantees your admission into the participating institutions. Also, keep track of application deadlines as they may vary from university to university.

Now, the list of participating institutions can vary from year to year. Typically, it includes several University of California campuses like UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz, as well as independent universities such as University of the Pacific. Make sure to double-check if your target university is a participating institution in the TAG program during the year you apply.

Lastly, the TAG application is separate from the general application to the university, so ensure you submit both in a timely manner to take advantage of the Transfer Admission Guarantee.

Always check with your counselor at SRJC or the admissions office of your target university to confirm these details, as they can provide the most up to date and accurate information.
