Honors Enhanced Transfer

UCLA Transfer Alliance Program

CRC is a member of the UCLA Transfer Alliance Program (UCLA TAP). UCLA TAP offers Honors students at member community colleges a priority admissions pathway to UCLA's College of Letters and Science, a more than 300% increase in your likelihood of being accepted for transfer admission to UCLA.

Priority admission via UCLA TAP is available only to majors in UCLA’s College of Letters and Science. (For a list of these majors, visit UCLA/College.) In addition to providing priority admissions, UCLA TAP provides students with the opportunity to apply to UCLA in both a primary major and an alternate major.

To qualify for TAP transfer, you must:

• Qualify for transfer admission to UCLA
• Apply to UCLA via the regular transfer admissions process
• Be UCLA TAP certified by the CRC's Honors Program during the spring semester following the fall semester of your application to UCLA

The core of eligibility for TAP certification is CRC's 15-unit Honors Certificate. To be eligible for TAP certification, you must have completed, or be on track to complete, CRC's 15-unit Honors Certificate with a GPA of 3.5 or better.

UCLA TAP Transfer Requirements

To be eligible for UCLA TAP (i.e., to be eligible for priority transfer admissions consideration from UCLA's College of Letters and Science in virtue of having completed CRC's UCLA TAP requirements) a CRC student must:

1. Satisfy the 12-unit CRC residency requirement (have completed 12 or more units at CRC) at the time of certification (i.e., by February-March of the spring semester following the fall semester to which they apply to UCLA for transfer*
2. Be a student in the CRC Honors Program.
3. Satisfy CRC Honors Program Continuation Requirements for each year they participate in the Honors Program.**
4. Complete the 15-unit CRC Honors Certificate with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better.**
5. Complete all, or at least a significant portion of, the lower-division major preparation for the major(s) for which they are applying to UCLA.
6. Submit a transfer admissions application to UCLA (UC Application, selecting application to UCLA) during the relevant fall semester. The Alternate Major listed on your UCLA application must match the alternate major listed on your UCLA TAP.
7. State on their application to UCLA that they are seeking transfer to UCLA from CRC.
8. Be UCLA TAP-certified by CRC the spring semester following their application to UCLA.

1. 1. Submit a CRC UCLA TAP Statement of Intent to the CRC Honors Program (January).
   2. Submit a UCLA Applicant Agreement Form (January-February) to UCLA.
   3. Submit a UCLA TAP Transfer Worksheet to the CRC Honors Program (January-February).
   4. Submit other forms to CRC and/or UCLA as required.

*It is worth noting that the CRC Honors Program was designed to meet the needs of students who may take the occasional class at another college but who take the majority of their classes at CRC. Students who take the majority of their classes at another college may find that, as a practical matter, it is difficult to complete the 15-unit CRC Honors Certificate (which serves as the foundation of eligibility for UCLA TAP transfer) given obstacles like class scheduling conflicts.

**Students must satisfy these requirements entirely by the end of the spring semester following their application to UCLA. They must have already satisfied a significant portion of these requirements by the end of the fall term during which they apply to UCLA and be on track to complete these requirements the following semester.
