Question about TAG and min. units

From UCSB’s TAG information: “Applicants must have completed 30 UC-transferable semester units (excluding AP/IB/A Level units) prior to TAG submission.”

Unfortunately, the 30 units need to be completed by the time you submit your TAG.

See if there are any summer classes you could add into at any local CC- some have three week sessions starting soon.
Many CC’s have a “credit by examination” policy, but it is usual not well-known. If you cannot find anything online about such, I would go ask in person. Example: You are familiar with basic psychology, and take an examination to try and earn credit for psychology 101.

There is a similar thread titled “Short 1 credit!” on this first page that deals with a similar scenario for also the UCSB TAG and being short units. Some great insight if you read through it. Best of luck!
