5)  Summer Sessions

Summer Sessions

Enrollments for Su24 began last Thursday for Berkeley students.

A few of you have had trouble enrolling. Please check with Summer Sessions for help.

If you are completing your major requirements this summer, you can walk in the spring ceremonies, but you must be on the summer degree list, not the Sp24 degree list.

And when I say 'degree list' I mean EGT, your Expected Graduation Term.

Here's the form for changing your EGT to summer.

Many of you tried to enroll in Core classes this semester Sp24 and didn't get in.

Summer is a great time to find plenty of seats in a good number of Core classes.
103, 107, 138, 160, 177, and 182 are all being offered.

138 is online.

We're also offering 157 online.

My best advice is to take just one course per summer session.

Our courses have MTWTh Lecture and a Discussion section.

That's five classes in four days and the session is over in six weeks.

So if you were to enroll in two classes, let's say in Session A, you would have ten classes in four days and it's all crammed into six weeks. It's a lot. It's intense and it's too much.

We see gpas going up during the summer and that's because students are focused on just one class.
