Leaving Berkeley |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
If you do not wish to attend the University for a semester and instruction
has not yet begun, you must formally request a cancellation of your
registration from the University. If instruction has already begun and
you find it necessary to stop attending classes, you must formally request
a withdrawal from the University. Whether you cancel or withdraw, any
classes in which you are enrolled will be dropped from your schedule,
and you will no longer be eligible to attend for that semester or any
future semester until you are readmitted.
Cancellation
You can cancel your registration by Tele-BEARS or by notifying the
Office of the Registrar in writing before the first day of instruction
for the semester. You can also go to your college or school dean's
office (undergraduates); your major department (graduate students);
or the Office of the Registrar, Student Services, 120 Sproul Hall, to
have your cancellation processed electronically.
Withdrawal
You must notify your adviser at your college or school dean's
office (undergraduates) or your major department (graduate students),
who will process your withdrawal electronically; you do not need to
file a petition at the Office of the Registrar. If you are withdrawing
for medical reasons, you should contact University Health Services at
the Tang Center, 2222 Bancroft Way, after notifying your adviser. If
you are an international student on an F-1 or J-1 visa, you must see
an adviser at Services for International Students and Scholars, International
House, 2299 Piedmont Avenue, since your visa status may be jeopardized.
If you have a student loan, you are required to have an exit interview
at the Loans and Receivables Office, 192 University Hall.
Withdrawal Adjustments
All withdrawal adjustments are applied to students' CARS accounts
and may be applied to any outstanding debts. Late fees are not refundable.
Students who withdraw and who are participating in the Deferred Payment
Plan are likely to have a remaining financial obligation to the University.
Return of financial aid funds to aid programs complies with the 1998
Reauthorization of the Federal Higher Education Act. The amount of financial
aid to be returned is based upon the number of days in the semester the student
was not enrolled, divided by the total number of days in the term. The
percentage derived from this is applied to the amount of aid the student
was awarded, and the result is returned to aid programs.
Financial aid adjustments are not related to registration fee
adjustments. Registration fees are adjusted by University policy (see
below), and this policy has not changed. UC Berkeley has adopted the
federal rules for all financial aid. Therefore, all aid is subject
to the formula above, which requires repayment of the unearned aid based
on the percentage of time unattended.
If you withdraw before the disbursement of aid, you may still be eligible
for a disbursement. The records of all withdrawing financial aid students
with undisbursed aid or Pell eligibility will be reviewed, and you will
be notified of the option to receive disbursement of this aid, if applicable. If you withdraw, it is imperative that you update your address(es) on Bear Facts so that you are able to receive this notice.
Important: If you leave but do not formally withdraw,
you will be presumed to have left at the midpoint of the semester. Your
fees will not be adjusted, but most likely you will have to return one-half
of any aid received.
For more information, go to www.uga.berkeley.edu/fao/withdrawal.htm
or contact the Financial Aid Office, second floor, Sproul Hall, (510)
642-6442 (undergraduates) or (510) 642-0485 (graduate students, professional
schools).
Registration Fee Adjustments
The amount of registration fees that you may be responsible for at
the time of your withdrawal or cancellation is prorated according to
the effective date of your withdrawal or cancellation, according to
the tables below. Note: The health insurance and Class Pass fees
are nonrefundable and therefore remain assessed at 100 percent for all
withdrawals, regardless of the effective date.
