Rausser College Academic Policies & Definitions
Rausser College students are responsible for understanding, tracking, and complying with all college policies and requirements, including those for their major, the campus, and the university. UC Berkeley students pursuing a simultaneous degree must adhere to the policies of both colleges; when these policies differ, the more restrictive one applies.
The Rausser College Academic Policies and Definitions document outlines Rausser College policies and the procedures for petitioning exceptions. Students should use this document, along with the UC Berkeley Catalog, to understand and adhere to all relevant policies.
Changes to Policies and Procedures for Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021, & Summer 2021
In light of the substantial disruptions to instruction caused by the novel coronavirus emergency, the Berkeley Division of the Academic Senate made changes to grading options for the spring 2020 semester. Rausser College adjusted its policies and procedures for Spring 2020.
After much consultation across the colleges of UC Berkeley, and via our college Executive Committee, Rausser College adjusted its policies and procedures for Fall 2020, Spring 2021, & Summer 2021.
