Fall 2023 undergraduate student deadline to late add, late drop, swap, and change class units is Friday, September 1. This, and other enrollment details can be found on the Office of the Registrar website.

The Academic Accommodations Hub is the student and instructor portal for support resources and academic policies, including key information regarding academic accommodations, as well as links to mental health resources, resources for survivors of sexual violence and sexual harassment, and more.The purpose of support resources and academic accommodations is to ensure all students have a fair chance at academic success. These resources are for everyone; students have a right to use them, and instructors should be familiar with them.

Students who do not have access to the technology resources they need are invited to apply to the Student Technology Equity Program (STEP) to be considered for a laptop, Wi-Fi hotspot, or other resources to support their studies. Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis throughout the academic year, while supplies last. For additional questions, please email ucbstep@berkeley.edu.

Emergencies can happen quickly and unexpectedly so it is critically important to prepare in advance by reviewing the information on the UC Berkeley Office of Emergency Management (OEM) website.

Stay informed - WarnMe is UC Berkeley’s Alerting and Warning System and how you may hear from the campus about significant emergencies and receive updates until a situation is resolved. By default, every Berkeley email address is automatically enrolled. To also receive WarnMe emergency alerts via SMS/text message, you must register your mobile phone number. Typically, an initial WarnMe message will contain basic information and any follow-up WarnMe messages may be more detailed.

How to evacuate - It is possible that a WarmMe message could instruct you to evacuate from a building, campus, or the City of Berkeley. Be prepared by reviewing emergency assembly area and waiting area information provided by the Office of Emergency Management. Practice makes perfect so make your emergency plan today.

Sheltering in place/active threats - When a WarnMe message directs you to shelter-in-place:

• close all doors and windows

• move away from exterior doors and windows

• be prepared to leave at a moment's notice
  
  

Also, knowing the difference between sheltering-in-place vs. a campus lockdown (secure in place) is key. The UC Police Department also offers a guide about surviving targeted violence and active threats, i.e., active shooter situations. Those working away from central campus should use their best judgment for what may be applicable in their locations.

The modules on the Campus & Community Resources page provide useful information about campus and community resources, services, and processes. These resources are updated on an ongoing basis, but may not reflect the most current information – be sure to contact the office or program directly for up to date information. CSI does not evaluate, monitor, or specifically endorse non-university resources.

If you need additional support navigating resources or processes that may be appropriate to you or a student you are working with, please submit a Care Report.
