End Index


December is rapidly approaching and the semester is coming to an end. There are only a few things left to say before you get to enjoy a much-deserved Winter Break.

First, if you are still looking for open classes for next semester, be sure to check out "Looking for a Class" found on the L&S website at http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/lfac/. Here you will find some interesting classes from different departments that still have open seats and may fulfill College or major requirements too.

If you are thinking about withdrawing from this semester, the last day to do so is December 8th. To do so, you would need to do is come to 113 Campbell Hall and meet with an advisor. Remember also that the "semester out" rule is imposed in which you would be ineligible to return for the spring semester. However you can meet with a College advisor and have this waived.

The last day of instruction is December 8th. Finals start the 12th and end the 19th. Be sure to check your BearFacts to see the locations and times of your final exams!

If you are planning to graduate this semester, don't forget to file for degree candidacy by Dec 19th. You can do so by filling out an "Add to Degree List" form found here: http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/fp/00Late_Add_Deg_List.pdf You will need to attach a memo from your major department that approves you of your candidacy.

Fall semester ends Dec. 19th and Spring semester starts Jan. 16th. Time flies, doesn't it??

Best of luck studying for finals and have a great rest of the semester!

Cheers from your Peers!
