Undergraduate Program


The Business Administration Major Cancellation of Registration/Withdrawal and Readmission


At the time of admission to the Haas Undergraduate Program, all students sign a Statement of Acceptance that includes an agreement to enroll full-time each semester and to graduate by the date listed (no more than two Academic Years after admission to the major). All Haas students are required to do so.

If you wish to leave campus in order to study abroad, please see International Study. If you have already enrolled in Berkeley classes for the semester that you wish to spend abroad, please also see Cancelling UC Berkeley Registration.


The following information does NOT apply to students interested in international study.


Cancellation of Registration/Withdrawal 


If at some point you feel it is necessary to withdraw from the Haas School and the University, we require that you notify us in writing immediately and complete the appropriate forms. It is recommended that you submit a detailed explanation of why you cannot attend, along with supporting documentation, if applicable, before you cancel your registration.

While withdrawal is completely at the student's discretion, readmission is completely up to the Haas Undergraduate Program. The Haas Undergraduate Program does not guarantee readmission to the major and the University. If readmission is approved, the semester of readmission will be determined by the Haas Undergraduate Program Office. In addition, readmission does not guarantee a change in the date of graduation listed on your Statement of Acceptance.

If you have already enrolled in classes at Berkeley for the semester in which you wish to be off campus, please see Cancelling UC Berkeley Registration.

Readmission


If you later decide that you would like to apply for readmission to the major and UC Berkeley, you will need to complete the Application for Readmission and Statement of Legal Residence. Download the forms from the web at:
http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/index.asp?id=72&navid=N
Pay the appropriate fee at the Cashier's Office and bring the form to the Haas Undergraduate Program Office in S450 for processing. Attach a Petition, and any applicable documentation, explaining your reasons for requesting readmission, outlining how your situation has changed, and showing that you are ready to return to school full-time.

Students are expected to comply with the date of graduation on the Statement of Acceptance. If that would not be possible, the Petition (Acrobat PDF) must also include a request to change the date of graduation.

Business Administration majors who have been out of the undergraduate program for five years or more without completing degree requirements will be required to complete the requirements in effect at the time of their request for readmission to the University.
