Adding Courses 
If you do not want to receive a letter grade for an added course, check the S/U box to take the 
course on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.
Deadlines and Fees 
Information on deadlines and fees can be found on the Office of the Registrar’s website at 
//registrar.berkeley.edu. Fees for adding or dropping courses will be automatically charged to 
your CARS billing statement.
You may submit a request after the final deadline, but you must also submit a letter of explanation 
to the Graduate Division with the petition. The Head Graduate Adviser will show approval of the 
late change by signing the petition. Please note that submission of the petition does not guarantee 
approval.
Required Signatures:
For each course that you add, you must obtain the signature of the instructor for that course.
The Head Graduate Adviser must sign the petition. If you are filing after the deadline, you must 
also submit the form to the Degrees Unit of the Graduate Division, 302 Sproul Hall, for review. 
Additional signatures that may be required: 
International Student Adviser (International House)
If you are a nonimmigrant F-1 or J-1 visa holder you must see an International Student Adviser 
before dropping courses that result in a courseload of fewer than 8 units.
Faculty Athletic Representative
If you are actively participating in Intercollegiate (NCAA) Athletics you must obtain a signature 
from the faculty athletic representative. 
Veterans' Services
If you are receiving educational benefits from the Veterans Administration or the California 
Department of Veterans Affairs you must obtain this signature if your schedule remains below or is 
reduced to fewer than 8 units.
LIMITATIONS
You may receive credit for courses graded S up to a limit of one third of the total units taken and 
passed while registered at the Berkeley campus, including any units completed in the Education 
Abroad Program, the UC Intercampus Visitor or Exchange Program, or a Joint Doctoral Program. 
Grades of S assigned in courses numbered 299 and in the 300, 400, or 600 series are excluded 
from this computation.  You may not repeat on an S/U basis any course in which you previously 
received a letter grade. Courses offered exclusively on a letter or non-letter graded basis cannot 
be changed.
IF YOU HAVE A LOCKER
If you are dropping a physical education or a laboratory course, you must clear your locker(s) or 
you may be liable for a fine that may result in a block on your future registration.
