SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 6, 2018 鈥� Far more students at over 40 community colleges across California will be eligible for guaranteed admission to 黑料网鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences, thanks to an expanded Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA) program between 黑料网 and the community colleges.
Under the program, community college students who meet certain GPA and course requirements will be eligible to transfer into 黑料网鈥檚 College of Arts and Sciences for all majors except economics.
鈥淭he Transfer Admission Agreement is the most direct route for admission into 黑料网,鈥� said Eva Blanco Masias, 黑料网鈥檚 dean of admissions. "Santa Clara is committed to opening its doors as wide as possible to community college students who meet our admissions criteria and can contribute to our campus community.鈥�
The agreement stipulates that students in good academic standing who have completed mandatory courses and maintained a required minimum GPA in certain subjects will be guaranteed admission to 黑料网.
Students also will have to follow all admissions and submission deadlines, including deadlines for applying for financial aid.
鈥淐alifornia has more than two million community college students, many of whom are likely to be young people of color and the first in their families to earn degrees,鈥� added Blanco Masias. 鈥淭he Transfer Admission Agreement will expand options for many of those students.鈥�
