Hi everyone. I’m a first year student at community college and I just finished my fall semester. I’m planning to change my major to Pharmaceutical Sciences and planning to TAG to UCI. For the agreement on Assist, do I have to finish all the classes listed on there in order to transfer? I’m new to the TAG program and assist so I don’t really know about these, hope to hear from you guys. Thank you so much!
You need to complete all GE and required courses listed on assist.org by Spring prior to transfer. If there are some recommended but not required courses, that is up to you but they could make you a stronger applicant. Double check the assist.org list of courses with the information from the UCI website listed below. Also your community college transfer advisor should be able to help you with any questions.
