Transfer Admission Guarantees

A Transfer Admission Agreement or Guarantee is a "contract of understanding," between a community college and a university guaranteeing that upon completion of the conditions of the agreement, the student will be admitted to the university for the agreed term of enrollment. (It does not guarantee admission into a specific major.) TAA or TAG applicants must have completed 30 transferable units at the time of the appointment and signing of the TAA or TAG contract.

Minimum General Requirements

1. TAGs are usually submitted one year in advance
2. 30 transferable units completed to begin the process
3. A minimum G.P.A. of
   • 2.0 for California State University or
   • 2.8 or higher for University of California or
   • 3.3 or higher for Santa Clara University
4. CSU & UC require 60 transferable units be completed by the end of the spring semester for fall admission

Meet with a Mission College counselor for deadlines and the specific requirements of individual campuses and majors.
