What is Guaranteed Admission (TAA/TAG)?

Guaranteed Admission is more commonly referred to as a Transfer Admission Agreement or Transfer Admission Guarantee program. A TAA/TAG is a contractual agreement between you, De Anza College, and a four-year college or university. Students who meet and maintain stated admission and major requirements are guaranteed admission to a specific four-year college or university. Students preparing to write a TAA/TAG should meet with a De Anza College counselor or academic advisor as early as possible to develop an education plan and select appropriate coursework.

Who is eligible to write a TAA/TAG?

Criteria varies by four-year college or university, but in all cases a TAA/TAG is open to resident students of California who meet and maintain the TAA/TAG eligibility requirements. International students and students who are AB 540-eligible may be able to write a TAA/TAG. Check with a counselor or advisor and consult campus-specific TAA/TAG Information Handouts for eligibility requirements and restrictions.

Students who have completed coursework at a college or university outside of the United States may be not be eligible to write a TAA/TAG at select campuses or may require additional documentation. For a UC Davis TAG, course descriptions for all postsecondary courses completed outside the U.S. must be forwarded with the international transcript. The correct name and address of each international school must be reported. Word-for-word English translations are required. Check with a counselor or advisor and consult campus-specific TAA/TAG Information Handouts for more information.

When do I write a TAA/TAG?

Deadlines for writing a TAA/TAG vary by four-year college or university. See the grid below for TAA/TAG filing periods by campus. For UC and CSU campuses, a TAA/TAG is generally written one year in advance of the transfer term (e.g. If you are transferring in Fall 2008, you will write a TAA/TAG during Fall 2007). Additionally, you will want to become familiar with the campus application filing periods, which is a separate process than the TAA/TAG filing period.

May I write more than one TAA/TAG?

At De Anza College students may choose to write only one TAA/TAG requiring a De Anza counselor's signature. Transfer admission agreements that require a signature include: CSU East Bay, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, National Hispanic University, Santa Clara University, and the University of the Pacific.

However, along with that one TAA/TAG, students may choose to participate in any of the other TAA/TAG programs which do not require a De Anza counselor's signature. These institutions include: UC Merced, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, and Kettering University.

What if I change my mind and decide to transfer to a different school?

Students who write a TAA/TAG are not obligated to transfer to the four-year college or university. For enrollment planning purposes at the four-year institution, if you were accepted for admission with a TAA/TAG please be sure to notify the TAA/TAG institution and inform them that you wish to cancel your agreement.

Which institutions offer "Guaranteed Admission" (TAA/TAG) for De Anza students?

Institutions that offer a TAA/TAG at De Anza College are listed on this page. Minimum requirements must be met at the time the TAA/TAG is written. Check with the Counseling & Advising Center and/or the Transfer Center each term for current information about TAA/TAG requirements, deadline dates, workshops, etc.

Caution: The final responsibility for a successful transfer program rests with the student. Resources online and at De Anza College are designed to assist you in getting as accurate information as possible. This information changes frequently, however, and can impact your admission to the university. It is highly advised that you meet periodically with advisors at both De Anza College and at the prospective university to confirm your choice of classes and develop an educational plan.
