Transfer Admission Programs — UC San Diego
Transfer Student Services
UCSD offers various services to help students with the transfer process. Articulation agreements have been developed with a number of California community colleges. These agreements outline courses that may be applied toward UCSD’s general education and major requirements. The agreements are available at the community colleges and at the ASSIST website.
Preadmission counseling is available through the Office of Admissions and Relations With Schools. In addition, UCSD counselors make regular visits to community colleges to offer individual advising and group presentations.

Transfer Admission Guarantee
UC San Diego's Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program assists students at any California community colleges in transferring to UCSD.

Admission to choice of undergraduate college is not guaranteed; admission to impacted majors, including certain engineering majors, is not guaranteed.
TAG students must meet meet the University’s minimum admission requirements for transfer
students, including completion of at
least 60 transferable semester units; earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 and be in good academic
standing; clear all subject omissions/deficiencies for eligibility; complete
all TAG core courses (which will clear
the majority of lower-division general education
requirements) with a grade of C or

plans to enter. Full completion and certification of IGETC prior to enrollment is required. TAG students may apply for the fall or winter quarter.
