The UC TAG Deadline has been extended! |
|
In light of the recent flurry of wildfires across the state and the number of students who may be impacted by them, the six UC TAG campuses have agreed to extend the fall 2021 TAG submission deadline to October 15, 2020, for all TAG applicants.
As a reminder, the six TAG campuses are UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz.
Students who submit a TAG by the October 15th deadline must also file a UC application for undergraduate admission by November 30th . UC is committed to providing opportunities for your students to transfer to UC. We hope this TAG extension will alleviate at least a bit of the anxiety you and your students may be experiencing, and we encourage your students to use this extension to secure their guarantee to one of our exceptional campuses.
