Information from UC Davis for Fall 2012 Transfers

Fall 2012 Transfer Admission Notifications
In late April, all UC Davis transfer applicants will be notified of their admission status by email and through MyAdmissions. Be sure to set up your MyAdmissions account today, if you haven't already done so, and keep your UC Davis Student ID and password in an accessible and secure location. Admitted students will also receive an admission letter and packet in the mail.

Transfer Admission Guarantees (TAGs)
Have you submitted a TAG for fall 2012? Visit our frequently asked questions page to learn more about UC Davis TAG decisions. Prospective students for fall 2013 and beyond are encouraged to begin working on their personal and academic history portion of the UC TAG Application. The UC TAG Application is for use by students and counselors; once you begin your UC TAG Application, authorized counselors can view your application to provide early guidance. Make sure to visit a counselor before you submit your UCD TAG application.

UC TAG for Fall 2012 Admission

Many students are already asking about submitting a Transfer Admissions Guarantee, or TAG, application for Fall 2012 admission. You can learn more about the TAGs at this website:
http://uctag.universityofcalifornia.edu

You can start filling out your TAG application now, but you cannot submit it until September 2011. If you apply for a TAG with UC Davis and/or UC Santa Cruz, you will have to ask a DVC counselor to review your TAG application.

Remember these important things about TAGs:
1. Even if you submit a TAG application in September, you still have to submit the UC application in November. UC applications are available at http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu. Just select "Admissions" from the drop-down menu.
2. If you submit a TAG application and later have changes to your Fall or Spring schedule, you must report those changes to each UC campus individually.
3. You must meet the minimum criteria for the TAG, otherwise you do not qualify for the TAG. No exceptions.
4. Even if you don't qualify for the TAG, you might still qualify to apply for admissions.
5. You do not have to attend the UC campus with which you have a TAG. You may choose to attend another UC campus, or no UC campuses at all.

For more information about TAGs, refer to the Transfer Center website:

Welcome to Spring 2011 Semester

Hello, DVC International Students!

Happy New Year! I hope your spring semester is off to a good start. I know many of you, especially new students, are having a difficult time getting the classes that you'd like to take. The lack of enough sections to accommodate the demand is due to the budget crisis in California. I want to remind you to check out my Frequently Asked Questions page for suggestions to follow if the classes you want to take are already full. You'll also find the answers to many other commonly asked questions on my FAQs page. Here's the link:
http://www.dvc.edu/international/pdfs/frequently-asked-questions.pdf

I'd also like to remind you how to make a counseling appointment with me. You can call the Counseling Center at 925-685-1230, extension 2276 or 2278, or stop by and schedule an appointment in person. You can also schedule an appointment online at this link:
http://www.dvc.edu/org/departments/counseling/online1.htm

I am not able to schedule appointments via email; you must contact the Counseling Center or schedule online.

One new thing this semester is same-day appointments on Fridays! Just call or come by the Counseling Center first thing Friday morning and see if I still have an appointment available for you that day. It's first come, first served, so don't sleep late on Fridays!

Those of you who applied to a UC campus last semester should remember to update your UC application by January 31, 2011. Refer to the communications you have received from the UC application website and from specific UC campuses for instructions and links.

I'm already getting lots of questions about the UC Transfer Admissions Guarantee, or TAG, for Fall 2012 admission. Learn more about UC TAGs from the UC system website:
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/transfer/guarantee/index.html

Or, visit the DVC Transfer Center website for more details:

That's all for now. Good luck with classes this spring!

UC Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG)

If you are planning to transfer to a UC in Fall 2011, now is the time to start researching the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) programs offered by all of the UC campuses except Berkeley and L.A.

The DVC Transfer Center has some links to these program websites:http://www.dvc.edu/org/departments/transfer-center/transfer-agreements.htm
Please be aware that some of the information is not yet updated. The best source of information will come from the UC campus's own website.

Also be advised that some UC campuses, such as UCSD and UCSB, require TAG participants to have completed their two English composition courses (e.g. ENGL-122 and ENGL-126 from DVC) by the end of Fall 2010 in order to participate in the TAG.

Good News from UCSD!

The University of California at San Diego will allow international students to participate in the Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) program for the Fall 2011 admissions cycle. Click the link below for details:

Transfer Admission Guarantee

Students who will complete all of their transfer requirements by the end of Spring 2010, and who have no units from a college or university outside of the U.S., might want to look into the opportunities provided by the Transfer Admission Guarantee, or TAG, with several of the UC campuses.

All UC campuses except Berkeley and Los Angeles have TAG programs. All of the TAG programs allow international students except San Diego.

Davis is the most popular TAG for international students at DVC. The deadline to submit the Davis TAG is September 30. You MUST see a counselor BY APPOINTMENT to write the TAG, as doing so requires your file to be pulled from the Admissions and Records office, and it requires more time than a drop-in meeting would allow. So, if you are interested in writing the TAG with UC Davis, schedule an appointment IMMEDIATELY by calling the Counseling Center at 925-685-1230, ext. 2276 or 2278.

The other UC's have different procedures and deadlines. Check with the Transfer Center in the Counseling Building for more details about the UC TAGs. You can also refer to the UC website: http://uctransfer.universityofcalifornia.edu/transfer_admis_guar.html
