UCLA TAP

How does the TAP (Transfer Alliance Program) application for UCLA work?

Assuming your are certified as outlined below, do your GE requirements, and and do all of your major prep. courses,  the UCLA TAP program will give you priority admission status when applying to the University of California, Los Angeles.  It will also allow you to apply for a non-impacted alternate major (should you not get in to your 1st choice).  Finally, it will allow you to qualify to apply for a UCLA TAP scholarship.  If you wish to attend UCLA starting in the fall you will need to apply during the preceding year through normal means by the regular fall deadline (usually November 30th). In addition to the regular UCLA application, you will also need to fill out a TAP Certification Form. Your TAP Certification Form will not be due until the beginning of the spring semester immediately preceding the fall you intend to start at UCLA.

Is it acceptable for a student to complete all of the 15 units required for the UCLA TAP (Transfer Alliance Program) certification during her/his last spring semester at CCSF?

No. At least 6 of the 15 required UC transferable honors program units must be completed by the end of the fall semester the academic year before the student wants to begin at UCLA. So for example if a student wants to start at UCLA in the fall of 2014, s/he must complete at least 6 honors units of the required 15 honors units by the end of fall 2013 in order to be TAP certified. The remaining 9 units can be completed in the spring of 2014.  All coursework must be taken for a letter grade.
