Transfer Admission Guarantee

A Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) is an agreement between a community college and a four-year university that guarantees admission to qualified students who complete specific requirements at the community college level.

TAG programs are designed to facilitate a smooth transition for transfer students from community colleges to four-year institutions. Under a TAG, eligible students who meet specified GPA and course completion criteria are assured of admission to the partnering university.

The TAG process typically involves students working closely with academic advisors to ensure they meet the necessary requirements and follow the designated pathway to the four-year university.

TAG programs provide transfer students with greater confidence in their academic planning and reduce uncertainty about their potential transfer options.
