This help article explains how to submit a Concurrent Enrollment class application.
To begin the class application process, you'll first want to navigate to CalCentral, the main student platform you'll be using during your time at UC Berkeley to apply for classes, check your enrollments, make payments, etc. On your CalCentral dashboard, select the My Academics tab at the top.
While the My Academics page may look quite empty when you first open it, you should see your Concurrent Enrollment card on the right-hand side. Look for the Apply to a Class icon and click on it. While you should be able to click on it, note that class applications don't actually become available until the application period opens.
For Fall 2026 students, class applications will open on August 12, 2026.
For Spring 2027 students, class applications will open on January 6, 2027.
From here, a new tab will open up in your browser and the Class Enrollment eForm will appear. This is the form that you'll use to initiate the enrollment in a course. Keep in mind that you'll need to submit a new eForm for every class that you would like to enroll in.
Once you have clicked “Next,” you may begin filling out the eForm. To make things simple, we recommend that you have ready the five-digit class number from the class schedule. You can use this number to search for the exact class that you want. If you don't recall how to locate the class number, please refer back to our Searching for classes help article.
After selecting the class, you will also be able to choose your grading basis on the page, which will need to either be "Graded" or "Elective Pass/No Pass". Before selecting the latter, make sure that your home university will accept your transfer credits without a letter grade.
You can change your grading basis after this initial selection, but only the Grading Basis Change deadline. After that date, no changes will be permissible.
You may also be required to take an additional discussion section. Class sizes may be quite large and often, courses are broken into smaller discussion sections that are led by a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI). This allows for a more intimate learning environment where students can speak up and engage in lively discussion on the readings and lectures. If there are several sections to choose from, make sure to pick a section that doesn't conflict with other class times. The class application system won't automatically block enrollments that have a time conflict so it's your responsibility to keep track of your schedule.
If you would like to tell the professor more about yourself and your qualifications for the class, feel free to do so in the section labeled Additional Information. For some students who are part of a Concurrent Enrollment program hosted by a campus department, you may indicate that you are part of this group in this section. For example, if you are a part of programs such as the Berkeley International Study Program (BISP) or the GLOBE program, please indicate that here in the additional information section. You should also use this section to explain how you meet the pre-requisites for a class, if applicable.
Once you have filled in all of your information correctly and you are ready to submit the application, please simply click “Submit.”
