FCC Transfer Center and UC Merced have built a partnership where we offer students from the Central Valley an opportunity for guaranteed admissions to UC Merced. This is critically important because we know that most of the times our FCC students are geographically bound but want a quality education. The UC Merced Promise Program can provide you with that opportunity. Here is what the UC Merced Promise Program offers FCC transfer students: 

• A dedicated UC Merced Counselor to help assist you from beginning to end on the courses you need to get into UC Merced. 
• Research and summer experiences
• Guaranteed Admissions
• UC Application Assistance
• UC Merced Tours

If you are interested in participating in the UC Merced Promise Program or need help with your appeal submission, please contact Michelle Hoff at michelle.hoff@fresnocitycollege.edu.
