PICTURE YOURSELF AT UC BERKELEY
Due to budget limitations, UC Berkeley is not able to make any personal visits to community colleges this season. However, they have created a "one-stop" website for prospective students to discover what UC Berkeley has to offer and find out what it takes to become a Golden Bear. On this webpage, students can complete an interest form and receive login information for their own personalized webpage. Plus, their names will be added to the Admission's email list so they can receive event invitations, advising opportunities, and admissions news to help in their countdown to applying to Berkeley.

Winter Quarter 2010
- Transfer applicants must submit all required transcripts by the Dec. 1 document deadline including transcripts with Fall 2009 courses in progress. A final transcript with grades posted must be received by Jan. 15, 2010.
- Student with coursework in-progress required for admission are not eligible to enroll in Winter classes until a final grade is received.

Final Grade Report forms received before noon on Dec. 21 will be processed before the University closes for the holidays. A final transcript with grades posted must be received by Jan. 15, 2010.
Spring Quarter 2010
- A very small number of Spring Quarter 2010 applications were accepted this year. Admission offers will be extended until capacity is met. Applicants are reviewed for admission when their file is complete (i.e. all required transcripts and related documents are received). For maximum consideration, students should submit all required documents as soon as possible.
- Only fully admissible upper-division transfers will be admitted. Transfer applicants must have their 60 transferrable units and “Golden Four” courses completed by the end of the Fall term. (CSUEB no longer allows students to complete admission requirements the term prior to enrolling.)
Fall Quarter 2010
- All students were encouraged to apply by Nov. 30. CSUEB is seeing unprecedented application volumes. Impacted programs (Nursing and Business) stopped accepting applications Nov. 30. All other programs will likely stop accepting transfer applications as early as Dec. 15. If you still have students considering applying to CSUEB, please tell them to do so right away.
- Only fully admissible upper-division transfers will be admitted. Transfer applicants must have their 60 transferrable units and “Golden Four” courses completed the Spring term prior to enrolling. (CSUEB no longer allows students to complete admission requirements the term prior to enrolling.)
