Transfer Admission Guarantee: 2009-2010

UC Riverside Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program allows eligible students from a California community college to have their admission to UCR guaranteed after the completion of the following requirements.

University Requirements for all TAG Applicants:

A UC Riverside Transfer Counselor will write your TAG contract when you have met the following criteria as a California community college student:

  • All your course work must be completed at a California community college. Although UC Riverside accepts course work from other colleges and universities, we write TAG contracts for students with course work taken exclusively at California community colleges.
  • You have at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units with a grade point average (GPA) as required for your intended major as shown below.
  • You must complete all the mathematics and English courses required for UC eligibility with a grade C or better.
Once you’ve earned at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units, you can make an appointment to meet with a UC Riverside Transfer Counselor to discuss both your eligibility to the University and your eligibility to the TAG program. As a community college student and TAG participant, you receive course planning assistance from a UC Riverside Transfer Counselor.

Bourns College of Engineering TAG Requirements:

Prior to writing a TAG, students must have:

  • Earned a 2.80 cumulative GPA or higher
  • Completed 30 semester (45 quarter) units
  • Completed Engl 1A or equivalent with a C grade or better
  • Completed Math 9A or equivalent with a C grade or better (must have a minimum 2.5 GPA in MATH 9A-B-C sequence at time of transfer)

Additional Major-Specific Requirements:
