Honors Transfer Agreements and Partners

Eligibility

In order to be certified for Honors Transfer to Yale students must complete the LPC Honors Transfer Program as an Honors Scholar, which includes the following criteria:

• Maintain LPC GPA of 3.5 or higher.
• Do not exceed 1 dropped Honors course record.
• Complete the community/global engagement service requirement (10 hours per year in the program).
• Complete a minimum of 5 Honors Courses (worth at least 15 units) with a grade of B or higher by the end of Fall, when you apply.
• Complete the LPC Request for Honors Certification for ALL Transfer Agreements by it's due date. The request is usually due in October and is only available on the LPC Honors Program Canvas.

NOTE: unlike UCLA TAP, Yale prefers all 5 Honors courses to be completed by the end of Fall, when you apply. However, they do also allow for the certification list to include a category of Honors students who do not plan to graduate as Honors Scholars (with less than 5 Honors courses), though chances for those students will be much lower.

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 an 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 excluded from consideration as alternate majors for TAP even if the are in L&S. The alternate major must also be the alternate major indicated on the student's official UC application. The list of majors change every year, so it is critical to check for the most updated information: link to the original UCLA TAP information site.

Eligibility for UCLA TAP

In order to apply through UCLA TAP Honors students must complete the LPC Honors Transfer Program as an Honors Scholar, which includes the following criteria:

• Maintain LPC GPA of 3.5 or higher.
• Do not exceed 1 dropped Honors course record.
• Complete the community/global engagement service requirement (10 hours per year in the program).
• Complete a minimum of 5 Honors Courses (worth at least 15 units) with a grade of B or higher.

Note:  the 5 Honors courses do NOT have to be completed BEFORE the application process, you have to be ON TRACK to complete 5 by the end of Spring/graduation. You can have some of the courses still in progress in Fall when you apply. You can even have one course left to complete in Spring after you apply, but that might reduce your chances of being accepted. Your chances will be much higher if you complete all 5 by the end of Fall when you apply.

In addition, you want 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 have at least a B for all courses in your major.
• you complete the LPC Request for Honors Certification for ALL Transfer Agreements by it's due date. The request is usually due in November and is only available on the LPC Honors Program Canvas.
• you submit a separate TAP Applicant Letter to UCLA AFTER submitting your general application to UCLA and the LPC Request for Honors Certification for ALL Transfer Agreements form.
