http://students.berkeley.edu/files/admissions/12626_5.info_transadm.pdf says that:

Berkeley transfer admissions:

COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE
B.A. DEGREE
Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 UC-transferable GPA by the end of the fall term when the application is submitted. General Education requirements must be completed by the end of the spring term immediately preceding enrollment by completing one of the following:

The entire IGETC pattern of courses, available only to students transferring directly from a California community college. Consult your community college for details.

College of Letters and Science requirements: Reading and Composition, Quantitative Reasoning, and Foreign Language (see assist.org)

University of California Reciprocity Agreement (available to transfers from another UC campus)

Students not at California community colleges or UCs would only be able to have the second option, which is to have the Reading and Composition, Quantitative Reasoning, and Foreign Language requirements completed by the spring before you transfer. Note that this is not the complete set of L&S breadth requirements (the seven course breadth is not required before transfer even though it is required for graduation).
