(TAGs)
Currently SBCC has agreements with 7 University of California campuses, 2 California State University campuses, and 1 private/independent college.

A TAG is a contract between a student in attendance at Santa Barbara City College and receiving a baccalaureate granting institution to which the student intends to transfer.

The agreement may ensure admission to a transfer university a year or two in advance. Some agreements require forms and may have separate deadlines.

Selecting a General Education Pattern of courses for Transfer

General Education (G.E) is a pattern of courses determined by a 4-year institution to represent its "general" or "breadth" philosophy of what constitutes a well-educated graduate. Each college has its own philosophy of education; this is its own G.E. pattern.
