International Concurrent Enrollment Application

Applying is a three-part process:

Part 1: Create a Free Student Profile

If you are new to UC Berkeley or UC Berkeley Extension, you will need to create a free online student profile.

If you already have a UC Berkeley Extension student account, log in.

Part 2: Upload Your Application Materials

A Copy of your Passport Biographical Page

Upload a copy of your passport biographical page that shows your full name, photo, and birth date.

You must have a passport that is valid for travel to the United States. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your period of stay in the United States (unless exempt by country-specific agreements).

Once you are logged in to your Extension online student account, you will see the application.

Your application can always be found under "My Applications and Registrations" in the account menu.

Use this format for naming your files: firstnamelastnamedocument.pdf. Please use romanized English (do not use special characters like ñ and ø). For example, Janaé Doe would name her statement of purpose janaedoestatementofpurpose.pdf.

Please ensure that your documents are readable.

Guide to Preparing Your Letter of Invitation

Please submit a letter of invitation from your UC Berkeley Department. Click to view a sample letter (PDF). The invitation should be printed on department letterhead with a signature at the bottom.

Guide to Preparing Your Financial Statement and Certification

The U.S. government requires you to demonstrate that you have sufficient financial resources to cover your tuition, fees, and living expenses while you are studying in the United States. Your financial statement and certification must be in English and dated within 90 days of your application. See estimated minimum expenses. You must demonstrate your funding by providing the following:

  1. Personal or Family Funding:

    • Complete and upload the Financial Statement and Certification (PDF). If someone else is providing proof of financial support, please clearly indicate your relationship to this person and ensure he/she signs where indicated.
    • Upload a copy of a bank statement. The bank statement should show an excess of the total fees and estimated expenses as described in the Financial Statement and Certification form. This should not be a list of transactions. This document should show available funds that can be converted into cash in a short time with little or no loss in value (no cryptocurrency, stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.).
  2. Scholarship or Institutional Funding: If you are receiving funding from your school or another organization, upload a letter from the organization on official business letterhead, including a signature showing your name, the amount and length of support.

Proof of English-Language Proficiency

Because English-language proficiency test centers are closed due to COVID-19, you can meet our English-language requirement in any of the following ways:

Test Score

Minimum test scores accepted are:

  • TOEFL: {{ program.toefl }}
  • IELTS Academic Format: {{ program.ielts }}
  • DAAD: {{ program.daad }}
  • {{ program.C1Adv }}

Please submit a scanned PDF of your official English test results. The document should include your identifying information and have your photo on it. Mailing paper copies of English test results is not necessary. iBT Special Home Edition and myBest scores are accepted. Scores must be from the past two years.

The English Proficiency test score requirement can be waived by your host department. This waiver must be included in your invitation letter.

Waiver

You may request a waiver if you meet one of the following requirements:

  • You have completed one year of full-time college-level instruction entirely in the English language.
  • You have successfully completed a university-level program in a country or region where English is the official language.
  • You are from a country or region on the exempt list. Contact an adviser for more information.

If you do not meet any of the above criteria, you can request an English-language interview through our department. If you are interested in this option, please select, "I would like to request an English interview" in your online application.

Proof of Current U.S. Immigration Status

In most cases, if you are not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident of the United States, you must obtain an F-1 student visa in order to attend this program. Learn more about applying for your student visa.

  • If you are currently in the U.S. on a different visa status, please upload a copy of your current visa and contact International Student Services (extension-intl@berkeley.edu) to inquire about eligibility as soon as possible. A change of visa status may be required.
  • If you are currently in the U.S. studying as an F-1 student or will attend school in the U.S. prior to this program as an F-1 student, please indicate this in your application. You will need to provide copies of your F-1 I-20, F-1 Visa, and I-94 and arrange for a SEVIS Transfer of your F-1 status to UC Berkeley Extension if admitted.
  • If these do not apply to you, no additional uploads are required.
