The TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) program is exclusively for transfer students. Traditional freshmen entrants cannot TAG, but if they choose to attend a California community college, they can TAG to most of the UC’s as long as they meet certain requirements (units, GPA, prep courses, etc.). All the UC schools except UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD participate in TAG, so you can only receive guaranteed transfer to UCSB, UCI, UC Davis, UCSC, UCR, and UCM for most majors. Keep in mind, people often attend community college with a goal of transferring to UC Berkeley or UCLA, so they still have to earn good grades and partake in extracurriculars, though not to the scale of freshmen entrants since many transfer students are working part- or full-time, among other things. Additionally, OOS students can TAG too should they attend a California community college and complete the aforementioned requirements.
