Strategies for Course Selection at Cal
Schedule Planning
o Know your degree requirements – see ls-advise.berkeley.edu and check DARSweb on
BearFacts, a degree audit program that shows which requirements you’ve satisfied.
o Use the Online Schedule of Classes to find classes being offered, instructors, days and
time, final exam groups, and enrollment restrictions. Do not enroll in classes with the same
final exam group.
o Check the Berkeley Academic Guide for course descriptions and prerequisites:
guide.berkeley.edu
o There is no limit on the number of P/NP (Pass/No Pass) units taken per semester, but no
more than 1/3 of the 120 units needed for graduation may be graded “P”.
o You may take a maximum of 4 units of Special Studies courses (98, 99, 197, 198, & 199)
per semester. Enroll in the lower division version until you have completed 60 units.
! You may earn up to 16 units towards graduation of these courses
o Only 4 units of Physical Education activity courses count toward graduation.
Deadlines – L&S enrollment deadlines are firm and final, so check your syllabi and the
academic calendar (print it out) and make sure you’re enrolled in the right courses by the
relevant deadlines. There is a fee to drop courses after the 2nd week and fee to add courses
after the 3rd week.
Choosing a Major
o Use the Berkeley Academic Guide, department websites, Undergraduate Major Advisers, and
the Career Counseling Library to gather information and ideas.
o Some majors have application deadlines, GPA requirements, and major restrictions. Make
sure you’re familiar with these requirements and plan for an alternative major in case you
don’t meet the requirements.
o Think about designing your own major with the American Studies and Interdisciplinary Studies
Field (ISF) programs.
Strategies for getting into a full course: Enroll in a discussion section that has space available
or a very short wait list. To change to another section with space available, use the Switch
Section function on Tele-Bears; in most cases, if you get into the discussion section you will get
into the class.
o Not in by the time classes start? Go to both the lecture and your desired discussion section
and let the instructor and GSI know you’re interested. Students who don’t show up the first
and second weeks may forfeit their seats and you may get in. You must be on the official
Tele-Bears wait list for the instructor to add you to the class, and make sure they do by the
end of the 5th week.
o Anxiety-reduction tip: Do not start the semester wanting/hoping to get into waitlisted
courses. All waitlisted courses should be in addition to your 11-13 enrolled units. Drop any
course, included waitlisted courses, you no longer want, to avoid being added to classes you
haven’t attended and to help other students get in.
o Be fully enrolled in at least 8-10.5 units by the end of Phase I, and in at least 13 units by the
beginning of classes. Don’t count on getting into waitlisted courses
NLM 03/15
Strategies for Course Selection at Cal
o If you’re a new student, enroll in 13-15 units of coursework. Be flexible, you have lots of choices!
o
Frosh students should only enroll in lower division courses, numbered 1-99.
Select a combination of the following (prioritize #1-3):
1) Entry-level Writing – If you’ve already taken the Analytical Writing Exam and need to satisfy Entrylevel Writing, enroll in College Writing R1A, which includes the 1st half of R&C and is worth 6 units.
2) R&C – See ls-advise.berkeley.edu for a list of departments that offer Reading and Composition courses,
and then check the Academic Guide for course descriptions and reading lists. The two halves may be
taken in different departments.
3) Major exploration – Take pre-reqs or sample courses for 2 or 3 prospective majors.
4) American History & Institutions – Many students fulfill these requirements in high school. If you
have not fulfilled these requirements, see the Registrar’s website for information about completing or
fulfilling them.
5) Quantitative Reasoning – Stat 2 is good choice for non-math students. Students may also complete
this requirement by passing a test offered by the Math department.
6) Foreign Language – Most classes meet and have homework daily, so consider impact on schedule and
workload.
7) Seven Course Breadth – Approved courses for each breadth requirement are listed on the Berkeley
Academic Guide. Additionally, a semester-by-semester search engine can be found on our website.
• See lsdiscovery.berkeley.edu for L&S Discovery courses that satisfy breadth requirements. Breadth
courses may also satisfy major requirements and the American Cultures requirement.
8) American Cultures – Use the schedule of classes or americancultures.berkeley.edu to find courses.
Many majors offer an AC course or two.
9) Electives, seminars, adjunct courses, and other courses: You’ll need other courses to complete
the required 120 units. Explore outside your comfort zone and switch to P/NP by the end of the 10th
week if necessary. Your options include, but are not limited to:
o Freshmen and Freshman/Sophomore Seminars – (1-4 units) Small classes. fss.berkeley.edu
o Education 98/198 – (1-2 units) Study strategies for success. Offered by the Student Learning
Center and topics vary each semester.
o Berkeley Connect— (1 unit) Pairs undergrads with graduate students as they explore a department.
o Math 98 – (1 unit) Support courses to take concurrently with Math 32 (pre-calculus), Math 1A & B,
Math 16A and Stat 134. Offered by the Student Learning Center
o L&S 1 – (2 units) Exploring the Liberal Arts. For freshmen only; offered Fall semester only.
o Chem P – Chem 1A prep course, offered Summer and Fall semesters only. Recommended for
students who haven’t taken chemistry since sophomore year of High School, or want a refresher so
they can strengthen their skills for Chem lA. Offered by the Student Learning Center
• 1st half - review of high school chem, 2nd half - preview of Chem 1A.
o Poli Sci 179 – (1 unit) Undergraduate Colloquium on Political Science, with different guest speaker
each week. May be repeated each semester. Ok for freshmen.
o Public Health 116 – (2-3 units units) Seminar on Social, Political, and Ethical Issues in Health and
Medicine with different guest speakers each week. Ok for freshmen.
o DeCal Courses – (1-3 units) Taught by students on a wide variety of interesting topics.

Mathematics: Choosing Your First Course at Berkeley
•
Choose the course series which suits your intended major. Math 32 is designed to prepare you for
Math 16A or Math 1A. Math 16A & 16B courses cover the same basic information as Math 1A-1B,
but are less rigorous. Math 10A & 10B is a new series which includes material in statistics and
combinatorics in addition to calculus and which has been approved for students majoring in
Integrative Biology as well as Molecular & Cell Biology.
•
Make sure you have taken the necessary prerequisites and test(s) to enter a course.
•
If you need assistance choosing between Math 1A, 16A, or 32 we suggest you take the Math
Department’s online diagnostic exam which can be found at
http://math.berkeley.edu/courses/choosing/placement-exam
•

NLM 3/15 Survival Guide to Calculus
You may have taken calculus in high school and have done well. So you might expect universitylevel calculus to be straightforward. However, a majority of students find themselves struggling
in their math class and every year many students fail. Why? Because college courses are very
different from high school.
To do well, students must change their mindset. Memorization is not enough! Be pro-active and
seek assistance whenever necessary. The math department suggests that students should pay
attention to the theory and be able to work by themselves.
Student’s Expectation
Professor’s Responses
1) Professors should
explain everything in
class and go over the
materials slowly so that
we can understand
every detail.
1) Unfortunately, we can’t teach everything because there isn’t
enough time. It is your responsibility to learn the materials outside
of class. The pace of the class is dictated by the syllabus and is at
least twice as fast as high school.
2) Since I know calculus
from high school, I don’t
need to read the book.
2) This is the easiest trap to fall into and the hardest to get out of.
At Berkeley, math courses are much more demanding than high
school. Advice: Read the textbook as if you are learning it for the
first time.
3) I know how to
differentiate, why should
I bother with the
theory?
3) The course is more than just differentiating a few functions. You
might scrape by without a clear grasp of the theory but you can’t
solve “never before seen” problems. To formulate such problems
clearly, you need a firm grasp of the theoretical concepts. Without
that, you’ll do poorly on the exams.
4) If I attend the
lectures and do the
homework, I should do
well on the exams.
4) Only if you understand the lectures, understand the theory behind
the homework solutions, and understand why each homework
problem is solved in that particular way. Exams test your knowledge
and understanding of the theory and not your memorization skills.
Not all the exam problems are similar to the homework.
5) In high school we
solved problems like:
Let y = x - 2x2.
Which x gives the
biggest y?
5) That’s good. Can you solve: Let y2 = x - 2x2y. Find (x,y) so that
y is as large as possible.
NLM 3/15 Advanced Placement & International Baccalaureate Exams credits
(2015-16)
The University of California awards credit for all College Board Advanced Placement Exams (AP) on which a student earns scores of 3, 4 or 5.
Students should be aware that college courses completed may duplicate the content of AP examinations. The University may not award credit for
both the course and the AP exam. In some cases, satisfaction of general education requirements or credit toward specific major requirements is
also awarded by the campuses. Consult the major department regarding how AP credit is granted for each major.

NLM 03/15
Planning for Alternative Majors
Although most of the majors offered by the College of Letters & Science are
available to any student who completes the pre-requisites with a “C” average,
some majors have additional admission criteria. These may include a minimum
GPA, an essay of application, or other competitive standards. In some cases,
departments admit students on a first-come, first-served basis until admission
slots are all full. Please consult the undergraduate major adviser (UMA) for
admission requirements.
In you are interested in a major with additional admission criteria, you
need to prepare for an alternate major (or majors). You should have all
prerequisites—for both majors—finished by the end of the sophomore year, or
by the end of the first semester if you’re a transfer student.
