As a UC Berkeley graduate student, you are joining the larger UC Berkeley campus community. Please review and complete all three mandatory actions detailed below:
1) Complete UC Immunization Requirement
To promote a healthy campus environment, UC Berkeley requires all incoming students to show immunity from certain diseases. If immunization requirements are updated, we will share closer to enrollment.
- Upload your COVID-19 Vaccine Record: You must upload your COVID-19 vaccine record to the 'COVID-19' section in the eTang portal.
- Hold on Enrollment: Your enrollment will be on hold until you fulfill this requirement, which means you will be unable to register for Fall 2025 classes until you are cleared.
- Complete Tuberculosis (TB) Screening: You are also required to complete a Tuberculosis (TB) screening questionnaire.
For detailed instructions and to complete the UC Immunization Requirements, please visit the University Health Services website. Ensure you complete all steps promptly to avoid delays in your enrollment.
2) Complete Mandatory Prevention Education for Sexual Violence/Sexual Harassment
At UC Berkeley, we are committed to fostering and maintaining a safe and inclusive community. Students, faculty and staff all play a crucial role in supporting a campus environment free from sexual violence, assault and harassment.
As an incoming UC Berkeley graduate student, you are required to complete BOTH components of the sexual violence and sexual harassment prevention education training.
- Online Training
You will receive an email with a link to the required online training closer to the start of the academic year. You must complete the “Sexual Assault Prevention for Graduate Students,” before New Student Orientation. You can access the training through the link provided in the email or via your Cal Central dashboard under the "New Student Tasks."
If you encounter an error message, ensure your web browser meets the minimum requirements of EverFi, the platform hosting the training. Clearing your cache or using a private or incognito window may help resolve the issue. For additional support, check our FAQs here. - Live Webinar Training
In addition to the online training, all incoming students must also attend a mandatory, live Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Prevention Training titled, “Cultivating a Respectful Graduate Community.” This session is essential for reinforcing the principles of respect and safety within our community.
3) Read the University's Code of Conduct
As a student at UC Berkeley, you will be expected to comply with University rules and policies detailed in the UC Berkeley Code of Conduct. Please read this document carefully.
You will be asked to DocuSign that you have read and understand the Code of Conduct when you complete your mandatory New Student Orientation registration.
We expect you to maintain high standards of integrity in your academic work and conduct while you are a Berkeley Haas student.
Key Points from the University's Code of Conduct:
- All work you turn in to an instructor must be undertaken by you and you alone. Joint work is permitted only when the conditions for that joint work have been clearly established between the student and instructor.
- In cases of blatant academic dishonesty (see below), a faculty member will assign the student a final course grade of "F" and recommend to the Center of Student Conduct and Community Standards a one-semester suspension. Blatant academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:
- Arranging for another student to take an exam, or taking another student's exam.
- Plagiarizing by including, without proper citation, more than 50 words composed by someone else.
- Submitting an exam answer that is virtually verbatim to that of another student, or willfully allowing other students to copy one's own exam answers.
- Communicating with another student or using a resource (e.g., the Internet) when taking an in-class or take-home exam, where the instructor has explicitly stated in writing that such communication or resource usage is impermissible.
