UC Berkeley StudentINDEPENDENT STUDENTS
Take advantage of open enrollment at one of the world's great universities.
During the summer, UC Berkeley's academic program is open to adults, high school graduates, community residents, and anyone else in the group we call "independent." About 1,000 of the 16,000 summer students fall into this category.
Take a course for personal enrichment. Prepare for a future degree program. Advance your job options. Whatever reason you choose, you enrich the classroom environment with your viewpoints and experience. All we ask is that you be committed to a serious course of study.
UC EMPLOYEES
Benefit from UC Berkeley's academic riches.
Make the most of your employment at one of the world's finest universities by enrolling in a summer class. Take a course that interests you. Explore a new field. Expand your job options.
To make it easier for you to do that, Summer Sessions offers a staff discount, which reduces the summer fee by $385. Eligible staff pay only the course fee for the selected class, and do not pay the $385 registration fee.
Current career, full-time casual, or partial year employees at any UC campus, lab, or the Office of the President are eligible. Long-term (appointments longer than 6 months) temporary staff are also eligible. You will need the approval of your immediate supervisor, who certifies your eligibility. (Employees who are also matriculated students are not eligible.)
SENIOR AUDITORS
Bring your experience and viewpoints to a summer course.
Seniors are well known as excellent students in higher education; because they are generally not working for a degree, they have the reputation of being pure scholars. Berkeley Summer Sessions has created a greatly discounted means for seniors to sit in on class during summer. Anyone who is 55 years of age or older by May 21, 2007, may purchase a discounted Senior Audit Card for $45.

One hundred teachers from each district are invited to attend Berkeley Summer Sessions, for up to 8 units, by only paying the registration fee ($385). A Summer Sessions grant pays the balance of course fees, which could save you as much as $2,000! The Summer Sessions grants can not be used for Travel Study Programs.
Summer Sessions is your chance to brush up, to catch up, or to break new ground. We offer more than 500 courses in 80 academic disciplines in five different sessions, beginning in late May and ending in mid-August.
This summer program supports the goals of the School/University Partnership Program, which are to improve K-12 education in the Bay Area by supporting teacher training, curriculum development, and student competence in the participating districts. We welcome you!
