My TAG Was Approved

• How do I edit my personal information (name, email, mailing address, or phone number)?

  Go to the "My Information" section of your UC Transfer Admission Planner and make the appropriate updates to your personal information. If you've already started filling out your UC application for undergraduate admission and scholarships, be sure to make corrections there as well.

• Do I still need to apply to UCR during the Oct. 1-Dec. 2 application submission period?

  Yes, your TAG contract stipulates that you must submit the UC application for undergraduate admission and scholarships by the posted final deadline. Remember, you can import your academic information directly from your UC TAP into the UC application.

• Since submitting my TAG, I expect to have or already have changes*. Will these affect my TAG and how should I notify UCR?

  *Changes can include your course schedule, a dropped class, learning that the courses planned will not be offered at your college, or attendance at another California community college (CCC).

  Review your UCR TAG Decision Form carefully! The terms of your TAG require that you complete the coursework specified in your contract by the indicated terms. If you do not complete coursework specified in your TAG contract, you will have failed to meet your conditions of admission and will jeopardize your admission guarantee.

  If you are attending a CCC different than the one you attended when your TAG was submitted, visit assist.org to ensure that courses at your new school will satisfy your TAG requirements and make certain that you do not duplicate coursework.

  When completing the UC application, provide your current course schedule and tentative spring schedule. Notify UCR and any other UC campuses about coursework changes and grades in January using the UC Transfer Academic Update. The UC application and changes reported on the UC Transfer Academic Update will be considered in determining your admission decision. For more information, visit universityofcalifornia.edu/apply.

• I expect to receive a grade(s) less than C in my course(s). What should I do, and how will this impact my TAG?

  Review your UCR TAG Decision Form carefully. The terms of your TAG require that you complete the coursework specified in your contract by the indicated terms with grades of C or higher. Failure to meet these terms will jeopardize your admission guarantee.

• Can I apply to a different major than the one specified in my TAG?

  No, your TAG is a guarantee of admission to the major specified in your contract. If you apply to a major other than the one listed on your UCR TAG Decision Form, you may lose your guarantee of admission.

• Some of the information requested on the UC application was already provided on my TAG application. Do I need to fill in these sections? How important is it to complete the personal insight questions?

  Yes, you must thoroughly complete the UC application, so that it accurately reflects the information shown on your UC Transfer Admission Planner. You can import academic information directly from your UC TAP into the UC application.

  Report each college or university at which you were previously or are currently enrolled or in attendance, including colleges or universities outside of the United States. It is also very important that you complete the personal insight questions. Remember, the UC application is also your scholarship application to our campus.

• I left out some information when I submitted my UCR TAG. Can I make corrections on the UC application?

  Yes, you can make corrections on the UC application. Please provide your current information on the UC application and use the comment field to explain any discrepancies between information on your TAG and the UC application.

  In January, update your grades and coursework using the UC Transfer Academic Update to ensure that UCR and any other UC campuses have your current academic information. The UC application and changes reported on the UC Transfer Academic Update will be considered in determining your admission decision. For more information, visit universityofcalifornia.edu/apply.

• I want to complete some of my required coursework during the summer, but did not indicate that on my TAG. Can I enroll in classes during the summer without jeopardizing my TAG?

  No, the terms of your TAG require that you complete the coursework specified in your contract by the indicated terms with grades of C or higher. Failure to meet these terms will jeopardize your admission guarantee. You may take additional coursework during the summer, but you may not use the summer term to complete courses or transferable units required for the UCR TAG.

  In most cases, you can take courses at a California community college that exceed your prescribed TAG requirements. However, if you previously attended a University of California campus or have completed upper-division units at another four-year institution, you may have unit limitations that, if exceeded, could affect your admission guarantee.

• Is the UCR TAG really a guarantee of my admission?

  Yes! Your approved UCR TAG guarantees that you will be admitted to UCR in the major and for the term specified by your contract, provided that you meet the terms of our agreement and submit your UC application for undergraduate admission and scholarships during the application submission period. Your UCR TAG Decision Form specifies the terms of our agreement and the steps you must take to assure your guarantee.
