Grades & Credits

The UC Berkeley Summer Program is academically rigorous, and courses carry college credit.

Upon successful completion of the program, students receive an official UC Berkeley Statement of Attendance and a complimentary official transcript. Successful completion is based on attendance, satisfactory completion of assignments, and adherence to the program's behavioral standards.

Class attendance is carefully monitored. Students must attend classes unless they are ill. A student who misses multiple class sessions may not receive a Statement of Attendance, even if those absences are excused.
