So Good, We Guarantee It!
Guaranteed Transfer Admission Agreements & Dual Admission Partnerships
Four-year colleges and universities recognize the outstanding instruction and preparation provided to Foothill College students. Our excellence enables us to offer guaranteed Transfer Admission Agreements (TAAs) with a number of universities. So, when you choose Foothill and follow your educational plan for those first two years of general education, you pave the way to guaranteed admission at the university of your choice.
Once you complete a full year of transferable classes at Foothill, you will work with a Foothill counselor to write an official TAA. Foothill maintains TAAs with San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, College of Notre Dame, Menlo College, Mills College, Santa Clara University, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, University of the Pacific and University of San Francisco.
In addition, students can take advantage of special admission programs at UCLA and UC Berkeley.
To participate in the UCLA Transfer Admissions Program, you must enroll in the Foothill Honors Institute. To participate in the UC Berkeley Cooperative Admission Program (CAP), you must enter this program while you are still in high school. As a high school senior, you must apply to Berkeley during its fall application period. If you are not accepted as a Berkeley freshman, you may be admitted into the CAP which allows you to complete two years of general education requirements at Foothill and be guaranteed transfer to UC Berkeley as a junior.
Foothill also offers a Dual Admissions Program for students interested in transferring to UC Santa Cruz and UC Davis. Students who participate in this program receive admission to the university while they are still freshman. Students then complete lower-division requirements at Foothill and then transfer directly to UC Davis or UC Santa Cruz to complete upper-division coursework.
