AP/IB Credit

You can translate AP and IB test scores into units of credit at UC Berkeley; this process is handled by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

You can choose to apply the credit you receive from AP, IB, or GCE test scores to your degree process, for example, if you wish to graduate early.

Since some colleges (such as Letters & Science) have unit caps that force their students to graduate, you may not wish to apply your credit if you want to stay at Berkeley for four years. This is something to consider if you are a simultaneous major in CNR and another college. CNR does not have a unit cap.

Junior Transfer Credit

Students entering CNR as junior transfers may apply up to 70 units of credit from their coursework at other institutions toward their degree progress; this process is handled by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

University Extension

University Extension courses with numbers below 200 and preceded by an X plus another letter (such as XB132) are equivalent to courses offered at UC-Berkeley. They satisfy the same requirements and the credit is counted as equal to the same course taken at Berkeley.

UC-Extension courses with numbers below 200 preceded by an X alone may be considered for use to fulfill requirements on a case-by-case basis. Check with your Undergraduate Staff Advisor before enrolling in such a course.

Note that if you are registered exclusively at UC Extension you are not considered a Berkeley student, even if you are applying your credit toward a Berkeley degree.

Cross-Registration

Berkeley has cross-registration programs with

• California State University, East Bay
• Mills College
• San Francisco State University
• Sonoma State University
• Holy Names University
• John F. Kennedy University
• Dominican University
• The Graduate Theological Union "GTU"

With the approval of your advisor and the Office of Instruction and Student Affairs, you may register and pay your fees at Berkeley, and be exempt from tuition and fees at the host campus. On the approval of the Office of Instruction and Student Affairs, you may enroll for only one course per semester at the host campus.

In addition to these established programs, a new program created by California State Senate Bill (SB) 1914 makes it possible for any Berkeley student to attend a class each semester at any one campus of the California State University or Community College systems. Under these programs, students from the other institutions can also attend classes at Berkeley. Please note that students participating in the SB 1914 exchange program may be subject to a $10 administrative fee depending on the institution. For more information, go to the Office of the Registrar, or call Special Registration at (510) 642-5990.

Concurrent Enrollment

Students may not enroll simultaneously in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley and in another institution, except during the summer. If you can demonstrate unusual circumstances that may require you to undergo concurrent enrollment, go to the Office of Instruction and Student Affairs and request approval before enrolling in the other institution. Incoming freshmen and transfer students for Fall should schedule an advising appointment with the CNR College Advisor before applying for concurrent enrollment.

Intercampus Visitor

In some very special cases, you may apply to another UC campus as an intercampus visitor for one term. Permission is granted on a limited basis for solely academic reasons, and is handled by the Office of the Registrar.
