Re this clause, don’t count on it, I know someone who took a gap, had a whole course of action, with a few courses in spring, which he told the UC davis TAG advisor. The advisor said it was fine, be sure to TAG, even though the student had concerns. The TAG advisor supposedly told him, don’t not TAG. Long story short, he TAGGED, it got denied.

I asked if he had the name of tag advisor. He didn’t, but to be honest, I’m not sure it would matter. TAG decisions are final, and the advisor should not have encouraged the student to TAG in advance.

I sent a message to UC Davis TAG stating I thought it was irresponsible to encourage a student to TAG and supposedly telling him the plan would be fine. I never heard back. Anyway, my takeaway is don’t TAG to Davis if you have a gap last term/year, even if you have someone’s name saying it is OK.
