Full name of University of California, Berkeley
university:
Bilateral exchange program through IVEO (International Visitors and
Exchange Office)

Important Please note that this is not a regular exchange program that offers a
tuition fee waiver and a transcript of grades at the end!
The only department on campus affiliated with our exchange that can give
grade reports (allow auditors to receive grades) is the Department of
German, which houses Dutch Studies. Exchange students that are hosted by
the Department of German may receive grades for the courses they audit
within the department of German. Students from Utrecht that are hosted by
the Department of German and will teach a supervised Dutch course, fit into
this category.
Other students have two options:
1). they can become a traditional auditor (no grades)
2). or enroll through Concurrent Enrollment (paying fees).
1). Exchange students may audit courses at the permission of the professor.
Please note that auditors may attend courses but will NOT be expected to turn
in assignments/papers or sit for exams, as professors will NOT evaluate them.
Professors cannot provide auditors with a grade at the end of the semester.
Exchange students seeking official credit for courses taken at UC Berkeley
must enroll through Concurrent Enrollment.
IVEO will provide auditors with an ‘audit report’ at the end of their time at
Berkeley, which will list the courses that the student audited. After arriving on
the Berkeley campus, auditors must pay a Visiting Student Researcher Fee of
$400.
Extra note Department of Economics (February 2011):
Beginning in the Fall 2011 Semester, the Department of Economics will be
charging a $1000 fee per semester for students who wish to audit courses.
There will be no additional fee for students who elect to enroll via UC
Extension's Concurrent Enrollment Program.
2). The Concurrent Enrollment program allows students from international
partner universities to enroll in courses offered at Berkeley for one or two
semesters on a space-available basis, without applying for admission to a UC
Berkeley degree program. Students who wish to enroll with Concurrent
Enrollment must take a full course load. The Graduate Division at Berkeley
defines a full course load as 12 units per semester. Effective the 2010 Fall
Semester, Concurrent Enrollment will charge $525 per unit. The Concurrent
Enrollment program is administered by UC Berkeley Extension.

Concurrent Enrollment Fees (for one semester) in 2011-2012:
Tuition (12 units): $7,120
International Student Fee: $150
Concurrent Enrollment Fee: $100
IVEO cannot guarantee that an exchange student will be able to audit or
enroll in (via Concurrent Enrollment) every course they wish to take. Courses
are offered on a space-available basis. Some courses may be impacted due
to high enrollment of domestic students.
