Classes and Academic Help

EE and CS Class Information

Self-Paced Courses

Students take self-paced courses because they either want to spread their studies over more than one semester or take enrichment courses which are taught on a tutorial basis rather than with a lecture format; in either case, full credits are earned for self-paced courses.

ERSO Administrative Services

Cory and Soda Halls

Your faculty advisor's administrative assistant or grant administrator is available to assist you with items such as ordering equipment, preparing travel vouchers, check reimbursements, and any other paperwork related to account funds, equipment, and space-related issues. Examples of things students are expected to do for themselves are photcopying and faxing. To get supplies, speak to your research advisor's administrative assistant. Not all faculty have the same procedures.

NOTE: If there is no administrative assistant for a faculty member, talk to him or her directly. Also, if you have a unique situation that isn't addressed above, ask your research advisor for more information. If you have additional questions, contact Cindy Kennon (510-642-0479, ckennon@erso) (Electronics Research Support Organization) at 510-643-8423.

Student Grievance Procedure
The Berkeley campus Student Grievance Procedure (Appendix II to the Berkeley Campus Regulations Implementing University Policies) gives you an opportunity to resolve complaints alleging discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, handicap, age, and sexual orientation. You may also use the procedure to resolve any complaints you may have alleging that any other rules or policies of the Berkeley campus were inappropriately applied and resulted in an injury to you. The procedure is not applicable to certain kinds of complaints for which other appropriate appeals procedures exist, such as a grade appeal based on the application of nonacademic criteria. (See Appeal of Grades in Courses and Examinations for a description of the grade appeal process). The procedure contains important time limitations and provisions about the interrelationship between this procedure and other campus complaint procedures. Copies of the procedure are available in 102 Sproul Hall.
