Address Change and Mailing List

Get a catalog
When you enroll in or inquire about Extension courses your name is placed on our mailing list and you will automatically receive a catalog each term for the next two years. If you receive more than one catalog, please help us reduce waste by clipping the mailing label from the extra copy and sending it to UC Berkeley Extension, CMS Dept., 1995 University Ave., Suite 110, Berkeley, CA 94704-7000, so that we can remove that entry from our list.

Change of address
To change your address, send us the mailing label along with a completed Change of Permanent Student Information form.

Remove from list
UC Berkeley Extension never sells its mailing list, but if you would like to be removed from the list, please send us the mailing label with your request. This is the most effective way to ensure we are able to comply with your request.

Disabled Student Services

The federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and other federal and state laws, as well as the University of California Guidelines Applying to Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability require that persons with disabilities have equal opportunity to enjoy campus programs, activities, and benefits.

UC Berkeley Extension makes arrangements to ensure access to our courses to everyone, including individuals with limited mobility, impaired hearing or vision, or learning disabilities.

If you have special needs, please communicate with us at least three weeks before the beginning date of your course.

If your course is online, please contact our office immediately after enrolling.

Most courses meet in barrier-free buildings. With at least three weeks' advance notice we can make arrangements for access at other locations, as well as provide American Sign Language interpreters or note takers, or other forms of assistance.
