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. UC Berkeley currently does not require this fee of students from the other State campuses.

Other Programs:

Education Abroad Program

EAP offers the highest quality study abroad experiences tailored to meet the needs and interests of UC students. Participants stay registered at UC while abroad, continue to earn credit and make usual progress towards their degrees, and pay the same fees they would pay if they remained on their home campuses. For more information, visit the UC EAP website or the Berkeley EAP site.

Evening MBA program

The Evening & Weekend MBA Program at the Haas School of Business offers working professionals access to one of the finest management educations in the world. For more information about this program, go to the Haas School of Business website.

Exchange Scholars

The Exchange Scholar Program is designed to enable doctoral students with superior academic records to study at one of the participating institutions to take advantage of educational opportunities that are not available at Berkeley. Students are normally eligible to become an exchange scholar only after having completed one year in a Berkeley graduate degree program.

Students may take courses or conduct research with particular faculty at the host institution for no more than one year while remaining registered at Berkeley.

Participating institutions are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale.

Intercampus Visitor Program

The Intercampus Visitor Program allows undergraduates enrolled on one UC campus to apply to another as an intercampus visitor for one term. Permission to participate in this program is granted on a very limited basis and only for valid academic reasons. Apply at the Office of the Registrar, 120 Sproul Hall.

Intercampus Exchange Program

A graduate student registered on any campus of the University of California may go to another campus of the University as an Intercampus Exchange Graduate Student with the approval of:

• the student's graduate advisor

This privilege is available to graduate students who would like to associate with scholars or fields of study not available on the home campus, or who seek the use of special facilities and collections. Click here to go ot the program website.

International Students (EAP Reciprocity Program)

International students come to UC Berkeley for one or two semesters as part of the University of California's Education Abroad Program (EAP). EAP is a set of reciprocal exchanges between the University of California and its partner institutions abroad. Undergraduate and graduate reciprocity students are nominated by the partner universities under the provisions of specific contractual agreements, and attend a UC campus for up to one academic year on a no-fee-exchange, non-degree basis. For more information on UC's Reciprocal Exchanges, visit the EAP systemwide website.

Veterans and dependents of veterans

The Veteran Services staff in the Office of the Registrar acts as a liaison between the Department of Veterans Affairs and students who, as veterans, veterans’ dependents, or reservists, receive education benefits. The staff also assists with the California Department of Veterans Affairs’ college fee-waiver program for children of veterans who have service-connected disabilities or who have died from service-related causes. Students who are California residents apply for the college fee-waiver program through their home county Veterans Services Office.

Students who are veterans or veterans’ dependents should contact Veteran Services as soon as they receive notification of admission to UC Berkeley to ensure timely processing of their benefit claims.

The Transfer, Re-entry, and Student Parent (TRSP) Center functions as the student services hub for veterans on the Berkeley campus. Serving those who served, TRSP work to connect prospective, new, and continuing Cal student veterans to our campus-wide network of advocates to enrich the Berkeley experience. For more information about the TRSP center, visit their website.
