UC Berkeley students and Other UC students are not dropped from courses due to non-payment. Students are fully responsible for managing their enrollment and the tuition and fees associated with any enrollment.
Visiting Non-UC Students are subject to the Drop for Non-Payment (DNP) Policy.
The Drop for Non-Payment (DNP) Policy is that if fees are not paid in full within 7 days of enrollment, up until one week prior to the beginning of each session, you will be dropped from all of your summer courses, and a block on future enrollment will be added to your student record. Students will receive multiple warnings via email to remind them to pay. To request an extension, please respond to those emails (see below).
Note that we stop dropping students from classes due to non-payment approximately one week before classes begin. Students in this situation are fully responsible for their tuition and fees. Email reminders will be sent to advise that you will no longer be subject to the DNP policy if you meet the criteria.
E.g., Session C starts on June 22nd. If Session C is your earliest Session, then if you enrolled on June 12th or later, you will no longer be subject to the DNP policy. Not counting the weekend, June 12th will be 7 days before June 22nd.
Exception Requests to the DNP Payment Deadline
In the following cases, you may qualify for an extension of the 7-day payment deadline.
- You have submitted payment, but it will arrive just after the payment deadline.
- Your fees are being paid by a third party (sponsor, scholarship, etc)
If you believe you qualify for an exception, please email summer@berkeley.edu with your request and proof of payment or proof of third-party funding.
