Transfer Admission Guarantee University of Illinois Chicago

What is it?

The Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program is a partnership between specific Community Colleges and the University of Illinois at Chicago that offers a guaranteed transfer pathway to several UIC programs. TAG offers certainty to students who want to transfer to UIC rather than attend as first year students.

Program Benefits

  • Guaranteed admission into a participating UIC bachelor’s degree program.
  • Clear path to select degree programs before arriving at UIC
  • Dedicated UIC Transfer Assistance staff to help with admission and transfer counseling
  • Direct transfer assistance support to coordinate proper course selection
  • Regular communications from the UIC Transfer Assistance Center that will include a monthly newsletter and other important information with regards to your transition to UIC
  • Invitations to premier UIC events
  • TAG Students enrolling at University of Illinois Chicago who achieve a transferrable GPA of
    3.8 and apply to the UIC Honors College will be guaranteed admission to the Honors College.

Participation Details

In order to qualify for the UIC Transfer Admission Guarantee, a student must:

  • Complete course work that meets the UIC transfer requirements and degree requirements toward their intended program.
  • Earn at least a grade of “C” in all courses listed under the Participating
    Program Requirements. Some programs have additional grade requirements as noted on
    their program page.
  • Maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale on both all transferable coursework, and coursework specifically required for admission.
  • Submit the TAG participation form no later than the last day of the second week in the first

  • Complete all requirements and transfer into UIC within three years of
    the date of signing the TAG Participation Form and may only participate one time.
