Seven University of California (UC) campuses – Davis, Irvine, Merced, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Riverside and San Diego – currently offer guaranteed transfer admission to Allan Hancock College students. Visit the UC TAG website for in-depth information about eligibility criteria and campus-specific information.

Prior to attending a TAG workshop, students should make an appointment with a Hancock counselor to determine their eligibility; log on to myHancock and print out their unofficial AHC transcript; and obtain transcripts from any and all previous college and universities they attended. For more information, visit the University Transfer Center’s TAG website.

Ensuring admission to aspecific campus offers students many benefits, including an early review of their academic record, early admission notification and specific guidance on major preparation and general education coursework. A TAG is a contractual agreement between the student, Allan Hancock College, and the four-year university. The TAG provides prospective students with a specific plan of action to ensure they satisfy the admissions requirements. The TAG also provides the participating universities with the student's contact information and, as a result, the student will have direct access to university representatives and current information pertaining to their admissions or changes they should know about. Signing and meeting the conditions of the TAG will GUARANTEE an enrollment slot for the TAG admission cycle. Other benefits vary by specific campus.
