One year prior to transfer, student and counselor develop an educational transfer plan.  The Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA) program is a four-year college or university admission commitment for Monterey Peninsula College transfer students.  The agreement is a written document for students who have completed 30-semester units and who agree to meet specific admission requirements at the time of transfer.  The student, Monterey Peninsula College counselor, and the four-year institution representative sign the TAA.  If approved, the student's admittance is guaranteed for a specific semester.

Interested students should contact the Counseling Office or the Career/Transfer Center. Students should begin the process at the beginning of the fall semester one year prior to the planned transfer.
