Students from Mendocino College have been accepted through TAG agreements into: UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz.
The program is coordinated through the college’s Career and Transfer Center and its director, Candie Dickinson.
“Not all high school students and parents are aware of this opportunity,” said Vice President of Education and Student Services Meridith Randall. “For students who know which UC they would like to attend, but who cannot enroll at a four-year school immediately out of high school, this program allows them to finish lower-division requirements much more cost-effectively, then move on.”
Dickinson added, “A junior-level community college student actually has priority consideration over other transfer applicants.”
Dickinson meets with students individually about their TAGs and also offers a variety of transfer workshops throughout the school year.
By participating in a TAG program, students receive early review of their academic records, early admissions notification, and specific guidance about major preparation and general education coursework.
Seven UC campuses (UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz) offer guaranteed admission to California community college students who meet specific requirements.
The TAG application was accepted between Sept. 1 and 30 for any student looking to transfer to one of the seven UC campuses for Fall 2011. The application was available to students July 1, 2010.
For students wishing to transfer in Spring 2012, only UC Merced accepts TAG applications between May 1-31, 2011.
All seven UC campuses offer a variety of programs in support of transfer admission for community college students.
More specific programs and support services are available to help transfer students earn their UC degrees once they have enrolled.

Students had practiced very hard for Dec. 11's annual Christmas caroling with Dr. Heidi Morgan of Yuba College.
“I'm very excited to have had 12 Carlé High School singers for our caroling this year.

hoping she gets well soon,” said Carlé team leader Ellie Hackler.
“We really enjoyed helping Rotary this year with the Christmas dinner that took place at Burns Valley Elementary School on Dec. 11. It benefits many families in our community by providing food and gifts for our children. We appreciate Kinene Barzin for being the liaison between Rotary and Carle High School,” said Principal Ed Zander.
Student of the week this week is Leah Davidson for all she does for our school. She helps recycle every day and is a great member of student council.
“Not only is Lisa Davidson an amazing student but she is also is amazingly helpful as my classroom aid,” said teacher Verna Rogers.

Finally, Carlé would like to give a big shout out to Middletown teacher Lisa Kelly who was awarded State Teacher of the Year officially this week at a ceremony in Sacramento. Our own teacher, Alan Siegel, was part of the state teacher of the year selection committee and was on hand in Sacramento to
cheer Ms. Kelly. Congratulations on your wonderful award, Ms. Kelly!
