TAG Information

UC Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)

The UC Transfer Admission Guarantee gives ELAC students who meet TAG requirements a written guarantee of admission to selected colleges and universities. Students who complete the agreed upon sequence of classes in general education and a selected major with a stated minimum GPA can apply to the four-year institution within a prescribed time-frame and be "Guaranteed Admission."

Transfer Admissions Guarantee to Whittier College
