THE HONORS PROGRAM

Mt. SAC Honors students who complete six Honors classes with at least a C, as well as all of UCLA’s requirements for their major by the end of the fall that they apply to UCLA, can be TAP-certified. TAP certified students receive priority consideration for transfer from UCLA’s College of Letters and Sciences (not engineering, communications, film or theatre majors), and may opt to complete the requirements for a second major.  Rates of acceptance are much higher for TAP-certified students; for example, In Fall 2004, while only 42% of Mt. SAC applicants to UCLA were accepted, over 90% of Mt. SAC’s TAP students were accepted!

TAP Requirements:

• Attain a minimum of 3.2 cumulative bachelor-level GPA by end of the Fall that you apply

• Finish most of your major pre-requisites by the end of Fall that you apply

• Complete 6 HONORS classes with at least a C by Spring/Summer after you apply

• Are NOT majoring in Film, Theatre, Engineering or Communications

• Check the TAP box on your UCLA online application

• Sign your UCLA TAP Form in Honors by mid February Without your signature you will not be TAP-certified.
