Prospective Students
If you are admitted to UC Berkeley for the spring semester, we encourage you to spend the fall semester in Berkeley at the Fall Program for Freshmen (FPF), a program designed exclusively for freshmen admitted to Cal for the spring semester.

Program Fees and Billing Information
FPF fees differ from Cal's. Read about FPF fees and billing.
How to Register for FPF
FPF has limited space and cannot accommodate all of the students interested in the program.
Spaces fill quickly on a first-come, first-served basis after admission decisions are released. You can register for FPF now while considering whether to accept spring admission to UC Berkeley.
