Domestic and international students who are enrolled full time at any California community college spring 2014 through spring 2015 are eligible for a UC Davis fall 2015 TAG.
Part-time enrollment is permissible for good cause. A UC Davis representative, in consultation with your community college counselor has the sole discretion to make exceptions to the expectation for full-time enrollment. An example of “good cause” would be a student’s need to attend school part-time because s/he is employed.
What else “good cause” could be?
Taking care of family (e.g. childcare, elder care, medical needs).
@taotao88 Be super careful of this. When something is “sole discretion” that’s a red flag. My daughter was told by a UC Davis TAG person her halftime status was fine for a term as she was starting a non-profit. She was also working 30 hours a week at starbucks. My daughter was hesitant to TAG Davis and told the TAG advisor that. The advisor encouraged her after hearing the entire plan, so she did, and got declined. My advice to ANYONE is if you are not full-time don’t waste your TAG opportunity on Davis, as that sole discretion line is a potential buzzkill.
With good grades you should be able to get in w/o TAG and use the guarantee at another campus, where it can truly be a 100% guarantee.
Thank you for your advice.
I personally feel this “sole discretion” line about FT vs PT needs to go. The misinformation by probably a well-meaning Davis TAG advisor shows even internally they’re not sure how to apply it. They shouldn’t have these vague and unreliable qualifiers when TAG is such an important guarantee coming from a CCC. “Maybe…”, “we’ll see…”, “sounds good…”, yada yada. Just make it full time status or you can’t TAG.
Yes, I agreed.
BTW, what does this mean?
For units beyond the maximum(70 sem/105 qtr units), subject credit for appropriate coursework taken in excess of this unit limitation will be granted and may be used to satisfy requirements.
if you have more than 70 units lower division units (from a CCC or other school), they will transfer 70 units and the rest will be used to fulfill subject requirements for graduation or other prep/IGETC requirements, but you will not have the actual units transferred to the UC.
