<p>I'm planning to apply fall 2013 with the TAG program, and I was wondering if i can transfer with just my IGETC classes done. When I looked at the tag requirements, some schools posted that you need to finish transferable classes with your major. I'm a biology major, but am planning to take my major classes after I transfer. I'm a little confused.</p>
<p>The specifics for the TAG programs are usually on each college’s website, but this was taken from UCI: “will complete all major coursework for my chosen major including course prerequisites and minimum course GPA by the end of spring 2014 for fall 2014.” I am transferring with TAG for UCSD and I was told that you have to do IGETC as well as take the available courses needed for your major (usually found on assist.org).</p>
<p>You also need min. 60 transferrable units and for me that was more than what is needed for IGETC.</p>
<p>OH. I’m in my second year and havent taken classes for my major yet. If I wait one more year in order to transfer, would it affect my TAG application? How long did it take for you to finish all of your igetc classes and major classes?</p>
<p>For TAG you NEED to finish your major classes (The classes listed under the TAG agreement), along with 60 transferable units + IGETC. </p>
<p>Also, FYI, I believe UCSD has STOPPED its TAG program. Also I heard that UCSD had rejected people who had tagged to UCSD, which is ironic since its a GUARANTEE. </p>
<p>I think UCI, UC Davis, UCSB, UCR, UCSC, UCM all have tag still.</p>
<p>There’s one more year for the UCSD tag (Fall 2014 cycle) and then it’s gone.</p>
<p>It took me two years to complete the IGETC as well as the major coursework for the major at UCSD with TAG. Like emprex said, UCSD is stopping their TAG after next year. No, I don’t believe that taking another year would hurt your TAG as long as you meet the minimum unit requirements (and I believe there’s a limit as well?–I could be wrong) as well as complete the IGETC and take the classes listed on ASSIST.</p>
<p>If you are finding yourself confused you could always stop in and talk to the transfer counselor at your cc. They should be familiar with the program. Sometimes sitting down with an advisor face to face is more productive than just posting questions.</p>
