Prospective students can mail or fax copies of their transcripts to the office for evaluation. UCR maintains articulation agreements with community colleges throughout the state. These agreements are available at the community colleges, at the Transfer Services office and on the ASSIST website.

Transfer Admission Guarantee

UCR’s Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program encourages students to begin their college careers at a California community college and then transfer to UCR to complete the bachelor’s degree. TAG participants enter into a contract with UCR that specifies the requirements they must satisfy for admission. The Transfer Admission Guarantee is available for all majors in the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, the majors of Computer Science and Information Systems in the Bourns College of Engineering, and all majors in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.

This program will be phased out and TAGs wil be made available to students at any California Community colleege by the fall 2009 application cycle. For more informatin, see uctransfer.org/transfer_admis_guar.html.
