UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM

ENVISION HAAS - Transfer Outreach Program

Now entering our third year, the Haas Undergraduate Program in collaboration with our Haas Business

School Association (HBSA) is proud to share our Fall 2020 Envision Haas schedule.

Envision Haas is an admissions outreach program that aims to provide admissions information to our

growing number of California Community College transfer applicants. Each Envision Haas session

includes an admissions overview and transfer student panel. All sessions will be conducted virtually via

Zoom for the Fall 2020 semester and are open to both students and counselors.

This Fall semester, we will be conducting two sessions per month. Interested students can sign-up via

the Zoom registration links posted on the Outreach & Admission Events website linked above.

Haas Supplement Q&A Webinar - Thursday, January 21, 5:00PM-6:00PM PST

In addition to the UC Application, transfer applicants are required to submit the Haas supplemental

application by January 31st. Current applicants with questions about the Haas Supplement should join

us during this live chat. The Zoom registration link will be posted on the Outreach & Admission Events

website.

What a student should do if they are interested in applying to the Haas Undergraduate

Program?

1. Speak to a Haas Advisor

Haas advisors are available for virtual appointments on Mondays & Tuesdays from 1:30pm to

4:30pm and Wednesdays & Thursdays from 9:00am to 12:30pm. Please visit our Pre-

Admissions Advising page for more information and to schedule an appointment.

We strongly advise prospective students to make an appointment for advising help.

For quick questions, students can email uginf[email protected].edu

2. Get to know the business major

Students are encouraged to attend a virtual Envision Haas session to learn more about the

business major.

3. Review the articulation agreement

California community college students interested in applying to the Haas Undergraduate

Program must follow the most current Articulation Agreement. This information can be found

on assist.org

by selecting the community college, then UC Berkeley, then the business

administration major.

4. Ensure Eligibility

All applicants must meet the minimum eligibility requirements. This information is summarized

on the Berkeley Haas website and the articulation agreement on assist.org

. Every year a

significant number of our transfer applicants are denied because they fail to show

planned completion of these requirements.

Here are a few of the most common reasons for ineligibility:

- Failure to complete all requirements. All required courses (100% of admission

requirements) must be completed by the end of the Spring term prior to starting at the Haas

School of Business. If a student is missing one required course he or she will be considered

ineligible for admission. Required courses cannot be taken during the summer term after the

application is submitted.

- IGETC: IGETC is not sufficient to fulfill requirements for the business major. All applicants

must meet the minimum eligibility requirements outlined in the articulation agreement

on assist.org

- 5-year Rule: All prerequisites must be completed within 5 years prior to starting at the

Haas School of Business. For example, students planning to start in Fall 2021 cannot use

prerequisites taken prior to Fall 2016. Prerequisites taken prior to Fall 2016 must be repeated.

5. Complete the Application Process

Students interested in applying to the business major at UC Berkeley must complete both

phases of the application process.

Phase 1: Submit a complete UC Application by November 30th.

Phase 2: Submit a complete Haas Supplement by January 31, 2021. In addition to the UC

Application, transfer applicants are required to submit a supplemental application. Applicants

will be sent an email by UC Berkeley’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions by the first week of

January with information about the Supplement. The Supplement must be submitted online

and includes the Haas self-reported academic record, an additional essay, and a resume

template.

Applicants who fail to submit a complete UC application and a complete Haas Supplement will

not be considered for admission.
