TAG IconLook for the TAG Icon to see the colleges and universities that we have a Transfer Admission Guarantee with.

Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) is a program that offers students from a community college guaranteed admission to several colleges and universities. The writing of a TAG contract enables qualified students to be guaranteed admissions one year prior to transfer.

SMC students can secure guaranteed admission to a variety of UC, CSU, and private colleges. However, you must meet certain requirements and deadlines, and in some case, fill out a contract.

SMC is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities to make all learning experiences accessible. The Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD, also known as DSPS) is the official campus office that works to arrange reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. If you feel you may need accommodations based on the impact of a disability, please contact CSD or DSPS to initiate a conversation about your options at 310-434-4265 or dsps@smc.edu. Contact should be initiated as soon as possible to allow adequate time for accommodations to be arranged. The Center for Students with Disabilities is located on the 1st floor of the Student Services Center.
