Submit Exam Scores
You will need to submit a photocopy of your exam scores to the Fall Program for Freshmen (FPF) to confirm your enrollment in a Reading & Composition (R&C) course.
We require photocopies of all score reports for any of the following exams you have taken or plan to take to verify your placement in an R&C class:
- Analytical Writing Placement Exam (AWPE—California only)
- SAT Exam
- ACT Exam
- AP English Language and Composition
- AP English Literature and Composition
- International Baccalaureate Standard or High-Level English
- Community/Junior College transcript for transferable R&C courses (Check www.assist.org)
Please fax or mail photocopies of these documents to:
Fall Program for Freshmen
Attn: R&C Scores
1995 University Ave., Suite 110
Berkeley, CA 94704-7000
Fax: (510) 643-1976
Note: You will not receive your latest AP scores until after the Course Selection Form deadline on June 1. Please indicate your R&C preferences, and send your scores as soon as you receive them.
If we do not receive your scores by the deadline, we may not have space in the appropriate R&C course for your level, and you will have to wait until spring semester to take an R&C course.
Why We Need Your Scores
You may have had Advanced Placement (AP) English, SAT, or other test scores sent directly to UC Berkeley; the testing board will not send copies to the Fall Program for Freshmen (FPF). We are a separate office and do not have access to those documents. You will need to send a photocopy to the FPF office, even if you did not receive a passing score.
Note: We do not use math scores or transcripts to place you in Math & Statistics or Breadth courses. Please select those courses by following the instructions on this website.
>> See Math & Statistics requirement
Getting Your Fall Schedule
Assuming we have received copies of the appropriate test scores by the deadline (noted above), we will mail your course schedule to you in mid-August. If you haven't received your course schedule by mid-August, it's likely because we did not receive the scores, exams, or transcripts we needed to finalize your schedule. In this case, you should submit your scores as soon as possible and pick up a copy of your fall schedule at the FPF office during the first week of instruction.
What Not to Send
FPF does not need a copy of your high school transcripts, unless they have your latest AP or SAT exam scores. We only need exam scores, or transcripts of college-level coursework, that affect your Reading and Composition placement.
