Access to Opportunity
Berkeley has a long-standing commitment to promoting access to graduate
education to a diverse population. This commitment involves reviewing
applicants' achievements in the context of their life experiences. If
you choose, you may share aspects about your background that have not
been reflected in the main application. This may include information regarding
your achievements, in spite of economic, social or educational disadvantages.
If you would like to include this information, attach an additional page
bearing your name to your Statement of Purpose.
University Policy on the Student's Right to an Appeals
Procedure
Procedures have been established for appeal of administrative or academic
decisions that terminate or otherwise impede the progress of a Berkeley
graduate student toward his or her academic or professional degree goal.
A number of different procedures apply to appeals of decisions concerning
grades in courses of instruction, student employment, student discipline,
and dismissal from graduate standing or placement on probationary status.
The School's Appeals Procedure as well as Graduate Appeals Procedures
from the Graduate Division are posted on departmental bulletin boards
and are also available in the School's office.
