Re: Changes in Policies Concerning Readmission
The new policy on readmission, issued on December 24, 1997, did not make the 1998 edition of the Graduate Adviser’s Handbook. On page 62, please replace the second paragraph in the section on readmission with following two paragraphs:
Readmission applies to all students who have ever been registered as graduate students in any program at Berkeley. Any student who has registered at Berkeley as a graduate level student, no matter how long ago, applies for readmission, not admission, when he or she returns. In addition to the readmission application, students who have been away from the University for more than five years must submit the same documentation to the department as those applying for initial admission. This documentation, including letters of recommendation, a statement of purpose, copies of academic recommendations, transcripts of work completed in the interim, and any other internal department requirements, must be submitted by the deadline set by the department. Students applying for readmission may be compared in competition with applicants for admission, at the option of the department.
All students who apply for a change of major must submit transcripts of all college-level work, a statement of purpose, and three current letters of recommendation to the department.
