APPLY FOR THE LPC HONORS TRANSFER PROGRAM
UCLA TAP
UCLA Transfer Alliance Program (TAP) is a priority admission review program hosted by UCLA in consort with California Community College honors programs that complete a rigorous review process through the office of UCLA admissions. Las Positas is one of the few colleges in our surrounding area certified to participate in the program.
Only transfer students are eligible for TAP, which means that concurrent enrollment and Middle College students are not eligible unless they have also taken college courses since their high school graduation.
In 2020 general transfer Students were admitted to UCLA at a rate of 24%. By contrast, TAP applicants were admitted at a rate of 78%.
Benefits of the UCLA TAP Program
Through UCLA TAP students who graduate as Honors Scholars by completing at least 5 honors courses totaling at least 15 units at LPC will be eligible for priority admission review at UCLA. Students must complete the regular admission process at UCLA, complete the LPC honors program, and complete all major preparation requirements as well.
What Majors Are Eligible for TAP?
The Transfer Alliance Program is a program of the UCLA College of Letters and Science and applies only to majors within L&S. This includes the majors of most LPC transfers, but does not include the Schools of Engineering & Applied Science; Architecture; Music; Nursing; Theatre, Film and Television; Public Affairs, or Education & Information Studies.
Alternate Major Consideration
TAP certification also entitles students to be reviewed for admission in a alternate major. Students must meet the UCLA major preparation requirements in their secondary major. The secondary major must be within the College of Letters and Sciences (L&S) and some impacted majors are also excluded from consideration as alternate majors for TAP. The alternate major must also be the alternate major indicated on the student's official UC application. The conditions constantly change so it is critical to check for the most updated information: link to the original UCLA TAP information site.
How to Apply with UCLA TAP
In order to apply through UCLA TAP you will need to make sure that:
- your major and your secondary/alternate major are TAP eligible and within the College of Letters and Science at UCLA
- you meet all other admissions requirements for the college and BOTH of your majors, as indicated by your LPC counselor, UCLA and ASSIST
- you are part of the LPC Honors Transfer Program and are on track to complete at least 5 transferable honors courses worth at least 15 combined units by the end of the spring semester in which you graduate.
- you must have total LPC GPA of 3.5 or higher and a minimum grade of B in all courses from your major.

- you submit a separate TAP application form AFTER submitting your general application to UCLA and the LPC-UCLA TAP Intent form.
The LPC-UCLA TAP Intent Form
The preparation/intent form should be filled out between September and November of your last academic year at Las Positas. This form is only available to the members of the LPC Honors Program on the Honors Program Canvas (see above on how to apply for the program).
