University Transfer Partners
LMC's Honors Transfer Program has negotiated special partnerships with 4-year universities
that provide significant advantages in the application and scholarship process. Many
colleges offer GUARANTEED ADMISSIONS and/or GUARANTEED SCHOLARSHIPS. These partnerships are available only to Honors Scholars..
UCLA Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
This alliance can TRIPLE your chances of being admitted to UCLA College (formerly the College of Letters & Science). For example in 2025 TAP Community College Honors Students were admitted at a 72% rate as opposed to only 23% for non-Honors transfer applicants. (Statistics based on Fall 2025 admission data provided by UCLA.)
UC Irvine Honors to Honors
LMC Honors Scholars are given priority consideration for admission to UC Irvine.
In addition, LMC Honors Scholars with a 3.7 or higher GPA who are admitted to UC Irvine benefit from the "Honors to Honors" partnership. This partnership allows them to join the UCI Campuswide Honors Collegium (CHC) without needing to apply to the CHC.
Other benefits of the CHC include
- Guaranteed housing in the Honors theme house
- Honors library study rooms
- Priority registration and
- Priority consideration for merit-based scholarships.
Honors Transfer Council of California (HTCC)
