Enrollment and
Registration
The Office
of the Registrar, 120 Sproul Hall, mails registration packets
to all new students during the summer. The packets contain a billing
statement requesting that fees be paid by mail by July 15. If you have
not paid, you can do so in person August 20 through August 24 in the
Cashier's Office, 140 University Hall. A $50 penalty may be assessed
if you miss the August 24 deadline.
To plan your class
schedule for the Fall, 2001, term and for subsequent terms, use your
Curriculum Planning Guide, course descriptions, and the social welfare
class schedule. Be sure to account for all required courses.
Required Fall, 2001,
courses for new students include:
- SW 200, Human
Behavior and the Social Environment (2 units)
- SW 220, Introduction
to Social Welfare Policy (2 units)
- SW 240, Introduction
to the Field of Social Welfare and the Profession of Social Work
(1 unit)

In addition, students
in the Child and Family (C&F), Community Mental Health (CMH), Health,
and Gerontology specializations must enroll in SW 205, Psychosocial
Problems and Psychopathology (2 units), while Management and Planning
(MAP) students must enroll in SW 210, Group, Organizational, and
Community Dynamics (2 units).
If you plan to seek
an exemption from a required course, you still must enroll in the course
through Tele-BEARS.
Later, if you are granted an exemption, drop the course through Tele-BEARS
and add an elective in its place.
You will use a SID
(student ID) number, a PIN (Personal ID) number, and course control
numbers to enroll in classes. These numbers (in the orientation packet)
allow access to the Tele-BEARS
system. Course control numbers can be found in the University's Schedule
of Classes (available at the ASUC Bookstore for 50 cents) or on
the web at http://schedule.berkeley.edu.
Complete instructions for accessing Tele-BEARS
by phone or web site is also available in the Schedule of Classes.
After scheduling
through Tele-BEARS
August 20-24, you should pick up your Confirmed Class Schedule
in 120 Haviland Hall after 9:00 a.m. on Monday, August 27. The CCS includes
an ASUC Membership Card which entitles you to discounts and promotions
throughout the year.
You must be a full-time
registered student to meet MSW degree and residency requirements, and
to be eligible for financial aid. The School defines "full-time" as
a minimum of 10 units per semester.
Your official identification
as a student at Berkeley is the Cal Photo ID card. If you have not had
your photograph taken for the card, please do so as soon as possible.
If you are a newly admitted student, you can have your photograph taken
as soon as you receive your Tele-BEARS registration form for the semester.
The first card is free of charge; replacement cards are $10 (non-refundable).
For more information, contact the Cal Photo ID Office, Unit 2 Residence
Halls East Dining Center, 2650 Haste Street, 643-6839.
Withdrawal and
Readmission
Naturally we hope
that no student will find it necessary to discontinue their program
before completing degree requirements. If circumstances are such that
you believe you must withdraw, please discuss the situation with your
specialization adviser and field work consultant. Then see Barbara
Haden for a withdrawal petition and further instructions. Please
remember that readmission to the School and the University is not automatic.
A student must reapply according to specific procedures and deadlines.
Please check with Admissions in 128 Haviland if you have any questions
regarding this.
