What is a Transfer Admission Guarantee/Agreement?
Guaranteed Admission is a commitment that selected colleges and universities
make to PCC students who meet basic transfer requirements. Students
who complete an 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."
What are the benefits of signing a TAA/TAG?
A TAA/TAG has many benefits. It provides prospective students with
a specific plan of action to ensure they satify the admissions requirements.
Signing a contract requires the student to meet with a PCC counselor
to carefully plan the student's academic work. After the TAA/TAG
is written the student, PCC Counselor, and university representatives
sign the agreement. The signed contract provides the participating
universities with the student's contact information. 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. Other benefits vary, please check with specific
school.
When is a TAA/TAG written?
A TAA/TAG may be written after the student has completed at least
30 semester units of transferable coursework. An agreement may be
written up to one year before the student transfers. For example,
a TAA may be written in September for the next years's fall term
at UC Davis.
