You and the University share responsibility for your education. Our most successful students recognize the responsibility they must assume for their own progress. At UC Berkeley, you have both the freedom and the responsibility to make sound decisions about your academic career. With this freedom comes the need to be responsible not only about your academics, but also about the administrative duties you need to complete in order to graduate. In the College of Environmental Design's academic departments, advisors are ready to answer your questions and to help you explore options and alternatives available to you. As a student in the CED, you are expected to: - Be aware of the degree requirements and all relevant policies outlined in the current General Catalog and on the CED Undergraduate Advising website. If you don't understand a particular policy or requirement, ask an academic advisor to explain it to you.
- Be familiar with the academic calendar for such information as add/drop/grading option and withdrawal deadlines, Tele-BEARS registration dates, and the final exam schedule.
- Verify your course enrollments through Tele-BEARS or Bear Facts at the beginning of the term and once again right before the drop deadline. You are responsible for confirming all course and wait list adds and drops, as well as all grading option choices, by the relevant deadlines.
- Review your DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System) Report regularly for accuracy and to inform yourself of remaining requirements for graduation. Notify the CED Office of Undergraduate Advising, your major adviser, and/or the Office of the Registrar of any discrepancy noted between our records and yours.
- Remember to consult with your major advisor to make certain you are up-to-date on departmental requirements for graduation.
- Keep your departmental advisor informed of situations that may disrupt your academic work. Consult an advisor immediately if a serious problem (medical, financial, personal) affects your ability to attend classes or interferes with your ability to focus on your education and to do your best academic work.
- Ensure that your contact information and email address are up to date, and review your UC Berkeley e-mail account on a regular basis for notices and updates.
- Be proactive, plan ahead, and take advantage of the many resources at UC Berkeley.
We look forward to helping you make informed and responsible decisions about your education at Cal.
