Summer Opportunities Fair

UC Berkeley Summer Sessions offers more than 600 courses in over 80 academic disciplines and is an ideal way to speed up the progress of your academic career. Sessions are three, six, eight, ten or 12 weeks in length, and classes start as early as May or as late as July. All courses carry regular academic credit and will be recorded on your Berkeley transcript.

Disability Access & Compliance (DAC) connects the UC Berkeley community with the resources, training, evaluative tools, and services that support equal access to students, staff, faculty, and visitors with disabilities to participate in university-sponsored non-course-related programs or activities.

Did you know that you can use your summer financial aid for Berkeley Summer Abroad, Global Internships, the UC Education Abroad Program and for online courses? You can also use your summer financial aid to attend classes at any UC campus or at an approved exchange program with another university or college. See the summer financial aid website or visit our table for more information.

The Resident Assistant and Mentor (RAM) program supports over 300 high school scholars during their immersive UC Berkeley summer experience. RAMs provide academic mentorship and community leadership while managing residential operations and student safety. This premier leadership role includes a competitive stipend ($3,500–$4,500), on-campus housing, a full meal plan, and tuition support for up to three units.

Residential Operations manages UC Berkeley’s residential student housing units, runs each unit’s Front Desk as a guest relations central hub for information and support, distributes mail and packages, and provides administrative and logistical support to workers across many departments. Summer conferences are held in the unit and our summer staff supports us in making our conference guests stay pleasant and memorable. 

All enrolled Summer Sessions students who wish to live in on-campus residence halls or apartments are eligible for our many housing options. UC Berkeley housing offers prime locations, affordable and inclusive pricing, community and support within the halls, and housing contracts that align with the Summer Sessions schedule. 

We offer summer housing and employment opportunities.
