<p>my goal is to transfer to UC davis using tag and receive a bs in nutrition science.</p>

<p>sitiutation</p>

<p>-fall 2010 currently taking philosophy4, geology10, history17A, and english1A in CCSF</p>

<p>-spring 2011 i am moving, therefore must attend dvc </p>

<p>my questions and concerns are</p>

<p>is the prep class relative to my major and the UC transfer requirements the only thing i need to complete in order to apply for tag?in addition i know i must maintain a certain GPA.<br>
the UC transfer requirement is 2english,1math, 4courses in phys&bio,soc&behavioral,and arts&hum correct??? am i taking the right classes to fulfill the UC transfer requirement? so do i just finish the 21 units to meet uc transfer requirement and fill in the rest 39 units with my prep class for my major?? </p>

<p>i know these might be silly questions sorry but im new to this. help will be appreciated!! </p>

<p>and for those with experience or knowledge is transferring to a CSU an easier process?</p>

<p>From what i’ve seen, I think all you need are your GE’s and maybe some of the major courses that they might ask for depending on what major it is. I just applied for my tag as well and it was I was in good form and all. You have to maintain a gpa of 3.0 or above depending on the university. Transferring to CSU has been a problem with me. I’ve been getting emails about how they won’t accept because of budget cuts so lately i’ve just stopped applying there until the budget cut financial information has gone through.</p>

<p>i know this is silly but when you say GE you refer to the 21 units i mentioned??</p>

4

<p>help anyone??</p>

5

<p>and i dont need to complete IGETC in order to apply for tag? i just need to finish the UC 7 course ge pattern correct??</p>

6

<p>Well if I were you, I’d finish the IGETC just in case. It does say those GE patterns but i think it wouldn’t hurt to do a little more right?</p>

7

<p>say if i do take more classes relative to IGETC but DONT intend to be certified for IGETC can i still apply for tagging Davis?</p>

8

<p>and i just wanted to confirm that in addition to GE classes, must i take a foreign language to tag davis? and i already did take 2 years of foreign language in HS but i got a C and B during those 2 years will that go into my transfer GPA??? or does the UC just want to see a certification you passed the foreign language class??</p>

<p>I don’t think HS language credits transfer to the UCs unless you took an AP exam. Many TAGs do specify that you need to complete the IGETC by the spring before you transfer to be eligible for TAG; have you checked the specific agreement?</p>

10

<p>well i didn’t see any mandatory foreign language to apply for tag to davis. unsure though</p>

11

<p>but you dont need to complete IGETC when you apply to tag and just finish IGETC the upcoming semesters?</p>

<p>I think the process of applying to transfer to a CSU may be simpler than transferring to a UC but the CSUs have had to cut their enrollments much more than the UCs have due to budget cuts and also face greater uncertainties about how much more cutting they will have to do in the future. The result is it may take a higher CCC GPA to get into the top tier CSUs than it will to get into the low and mid tier UCs. For you this is unfortunate, a BS in nutrition science is the kind of thing where the CSUs are particularly strong and at a more reasonable cost.</p>
