Requesting enrollment in physics courses via UC Berkeley Extension Concurrent Enrollment
If you would like to apply to enroll in physics classes via the UC Berkeley Extension Concurrent Enrollment, we are happy to consider you. Interested students must complete all steps listed below.
1. Apply to the Concurrent Enrollment program.
2. Submit Concurrent Enrollment Class Applications through CalCentral.
Note: Please write down the eForm ID number for each request submitted.
3. For each Concurrent Enrollment Class Application, submit a Berkeley Physics Course Enrollment Application, including the eForm ID number from your CalCentral application. Applicants must upload a transcript to the Physics Department online form so that we may verify completion of prerequisites.
Note: This is a separate form from the Concurrent Enrollment Class Application in CalCentral. Individual Physics forms must be submitted for EACH enrollment request. CalCentral applications that do not have an accompanying Physics Course Enrollment Application will not be evalauted.
The Physics Department evaluates requests pending course availability and fulfillment of all course prerequisites. Course prerequsites are strictly enforced and can be found in the Berkeley Catalog. We cannot consider applications for graduate courses, courses that are full, and/or courses that have a waitlist. Consideration will be given only for courses that have vacant seats and/or no waitlist and will begin at the end of the second week of classes to assess enrollment availability. Though we cannot guarantee enrollment, we will do our best to accommodate requests provided all requirements and approvals are met.
Schedule of Classes
