Registration & Enrollment - Enrollment Information

OLADS

Undergraduates

After Tele-BEARS is no longer available for a particular function (see the Tele-BEARS/OLADS Availability chart), any adjustments to your schedule must be processed by your college or school dean's office via the Online Add/Drop System (OLADS). Note that requests to adjust your schedule after the deadlines will be processed on an exception basis only, with the approval of the dean of your college or school. Exceptions will be rarely granted. See your college/school's website for policies and procedures regarding schedule adjustments after Tele-BEARS is over:

 

Important Notice for Students in the

College of Letters & Science
The drop deadline for most courses for students enrolled in the College of Letters and Science is Friday of the 5th week of instruction.* The deadline for Early Drop Deadline courses is Friday of the 2nd week of instruction.* Drop requests made after the applicable deadline will require Dean's approval and, if approved, will appear on your official transcript permanently with a notation of that action. Dropped courses do not affect your GPA. The college will not waive the transcript notation under any circumstances. A $10 fee applies for any course dropped after the 2nd week of instruction.*

Note: the deadline to add a class or to change the Pass/Not Pass option to a letter grade is Friday of the 10th week of instruction.*

You should check Bear Facts before the applicable drop deadline to ensure that you are not unknowingly enrolled or waitlisted in a course that you are not attending. For example, if you stopped attending a course at the start of the semester but failed to remove yourself from the waiting list, you might be enrolled in the course. Never assume that an instructor will drop you from a course for nonattendance. The faculty of the college believe that students should take responsibility for monitoring their enrollments through the readily available electronic systems.

NOTE: Courses for which academic dishonesty has been verified by established campus procedures may not be dropped from the record. Grades for such courses will be reinstated to the record when dishonesty is verified subsequent to a drop transaction.

You must maintain minimum progress toward a degree, which requires that you have completed at the end of each semester a number of units no fewer than the number of semesters in which you have been enrolled on the Berkeley campus, minus one, multiplied by fifteen [15(n-1)]. If you fail to achieve minimum progress, your continued enrollment is subject to the approval of the dean.

*See the table of add/drop deadlines for specific dates.

Graduate Students

After the Adjustment Period (beginning the 4th week of instruction), Tele-BEARS shuts down for the semester. If you still need to make adjustments to your class schedule at this time, you must file a Petition to Change Class Schedule at your major department office. You can also obtain a copy at the Office of the Registrar (in the hallway outside 120 Sproul Hall), and at most academic departments. Petitions are processed via the Online Add/Drop System (OLADS) in your department office, in accordance with established deadlines. A $10 fee is charged for each class dropped and a $5 fee is charged for each class added.
