While college staff, faculty and advisers will provide you with information and advice, it is your responsibility to understand and comply with all policies and to complete satisfactorily all degree requirements within the allotted time frame. This includes the responsibility to track your completion of major, university and Berkeley campus requirements, as well to comply with residence, minimum progress and scholarship requirements. For details, you should refer to the university’s academic policies in the Berkeley Academic Guide, this section of the Undergraduate Guide and the Center for Student Conduct.
Please note that you are subject to current policies and regulations, regardless of your admission date. All links to policy topics on this page connect to the relevant policy in the current Undergraduate Guide, and thus will take you out of the 2017-18 guide archive.
