Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAG's)

With LTCC Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAG's), students know at least a year before they transfer exactly which courses they need to take and the grades they must earn to guarantee their admission to a UC. Such a guarantee exists with seven universities in California - UC Davis, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UC Merced, and UC Riverside, and UC Irvine.

What is a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)?
A TAG is a formal, written agreement that outlines the courses you must complete before transferring, the GPA you must earn, and the specific requirements for crowded majors. If students qualify and fulfill their contractual agreements, they are guaranteed admission to that specific university.

Can I get admitted to any of the UC's  without a TAG?
Yes! LTCC has TAG's with seven California universities. However, our students transfer to an average of 24 UC's and CSU's each year. In turn, the vast majority of LTCC students transfer to public universities without a TAG.

Are LTCC students academically prepared to succeed at the 4-year universities?
Yes! Statistical analysis done by the 4-year universities shows that students from LTCC do "as well" academically as students who enter the 4-year universities as freshmen!
