Summer Session courses are first-come, first-served and subject to availability.
Once a course's enrollment reaches its limit, a waitlist is opened. Students on most waitlists are automatically enrolled as space becomes available. If you are moved off the waitlist, you will receive an email to your @berkeley.edu email.
The probability you will be able to enroll in the course depends on your waitlist number and the popularity of the course.. Statistics, Chemistry, and Computer Science are some of the most popular courses at UC Berkeley Summer Sessions and these courses fill up quickly; therefore, it is difficult to be moved from the waitlist and enrolled into these classes.
How to Check Status: Students are responsible for monitoring the waitlist status via CalCentral. The best way to monitor your enrollment and any enrollment changes is to log in to CalCentral and check your schedule under the “My Academics” Tab.
If you no longer want to wait for space to open in a waitlisted class, you must drop the waitlisted class. Students continue to be automatically enrolled from the waitlist through the second week of the session and will be charged for the tuition once enrolled.
Important Notice: Notification about the change in waitlist position or being enrolled in the class from the waitlist is only sent to your @berkeley.edu account.
