The UC Transfer Admission Planner (UC TAP) is a free online tool to help prospective UC transfer students track and plan their coursework. 

If you are thinking of transferring to a UC campus, setting up your TAP account is the first step. The planner helps students track their progress toward meeting UC's minimum requirements, and it allows UC staff to communicate important information to prospective transfer students. Your TAP account will allow you to easily discuss your transcript and coursework with University Representatives, and will be essential for students seeking a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) with one of the six participating UC campuses.

This UC TAP Workshop will provide instruction to students on how to enter their coursework (completed and planned) from the very beginning of their college careers, or at any point when they decide to transfer to a UC campus.
