Berkeley Programs Questionnaire
No.
Yes. Students should check with their ESS adviser to confirm which courses can satisfy requirements.
UCEAP Programs Questionnaire
Each program is individually discussed with the student's ESS adviser. Courses for the major will have to be evaluated by faculty before course credit can be given. The ESS advisor can determine credit for humanities/social science courses.
ESS advisers maintain an articulation database that catalogs previously approved and unapproved courses. Students may meet with their ESS adviser to check if their proposed courses have been reviewed previously.
No.
Students meet with their ESS adviser to have their planning form reviewed and approved. The ESS advisor can determine credit for humanities/social science courses. If students wish to take courses towards their major requirements, they should gather syllabi for the courses they are interested in taking beforehand (if possible). Courses for the major must be evaluated by faculty in the course department before course credit can be given. Students should talk with their ESS adviser about major course evaluation, as some departments have pre-approved databases, and each department has its own process and timeline.
Please consult with an ESS adviser.
Yes, if the courses are being used to satisfy upper division major requirements they are calculated into the upper division technical GPA.
Yes. Any courses taken through UCEAP that are used towards the student’s major requirements are part of the department and UC GPA.
N/A
The ESS Adviser approves the academic planning form. There is no faculty adviser signature required.
Students should be in touch with their ESS advisor prior to the beginning of the registration period to ensure there is no hold on their registration. Online appointments are available for all students on the ESS advising website.
Students who go abroad in their last semester might delay their graduation. We will waive the college’s senior residency rule for students in UCEAP.
