<p>I withdrew from my multivariable course with Stanford’s EPGY. Do I have to report it to Berkeley?</p>
<p>If you reported the course on your UC application, then you need to inform the campus of the drop.</p>
<p>MsSun is correct as usual.</p>
<p>Think of it this way - the admissions committee may have selected your application over another based on the increased difficulty level of your planned coursework. That is why they require notification of changes. If not, someone could list a huge heavy list on the application but not actually take the classes.</p>
<p>so since i didn’t put it on my application, then i don’t have to report it?</p>
<p>It is a very interesting case. The application process had you report courses you had already taken or had a firm plan to take. If you didn’t list it, then your admission decision was not based in any part on the rigor of that class.</p>
<p>The conditions of admission, unless they have changed recently, list a set of obligations including reporting any college course for which you received a grade. It also requires you to notify them if any course listed on your application was not completed successfully. Unless some new condition was added, it wouldn’t require you to self-report additional courses you were taking, only the results when you finished them.</p>
<p>None of the L&S policies that are listed on the ls-advise site describe a requirement to self-report a course you enrolled in after the application and did not receive a grade for. </p>
<p>The registrar’s site also does not specify any obligation to report this. In fact, they describe reporting of college coursework as a process you would undertake only if you wanted to have the credit recognized at Cal, in other words as a voluntary option, using this language “If you have completed coursework elsewhere and would like to transfer it to your UCB transcript” from this page [Transferring</a> Credit to UCB - Office Of The Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.berkeley.edu/current_students/academic_records_transcripts/transfer_credit.html]Transferring”>http://registrar.berkeley.edu/current_students/academic_records_transcripts/transfer_credit.html)</p>
<p>Unless someone finds a statement of obligation for this situation somewhere in all the policies and conditions, it would appear that there is no need at all to report it to Cal.</p>
<p>I read through the entire Earning Your Degree guide (2007-2008 edition) and it lists no situations that would require you to report the enrollment and drop. That is for L&S - if another college, there may be policies that I didn’t see, but others can post about that. </p>
<p>Now, if you apply to Med School or other grad education later, they may have their own policies about whether you are required to have</p>
<p>Ok thanks rider730.</p>
<p>The short answer is no. The complicated answer involves whether you had other EPGY courses reported on your UC application.</p>
<p>Interesting point, MsSun. </p>
<p>OP - was the withdrawal early enough that it will not be carried on a transcript or did you drop when the college’s regulation would leave it on a transcript as a ‘withdraw’? If it is erased, no need to worry as the withdrawal is invisible. </p>
<p>if the same school is reporting on other courses because they were on the application, then the school will see the withdrawal posted on the transcript. However, since there don’t seem to be any requirements on the OP to report this, that should be easy to explain if a question arose. </p>
<p>Still, if you are sure that a transcript will be sent to the UC that shows the course as withdrawn, because you are reporting other classes taken there, send a pre-emptive note. State that you made a late decision to try the class and had not listed it on your application, then subsequently chose to drop it, just in case they wonder when they see the transcript. I would only bother with this if you fit in the situation suggested by MsSun - other classes at the same school will result in a transcript going to your UC with the withdrawal clearly listed alongside the successful classes.</p>
<p>my participation in the EPGY course was essentially erased</p>
<p>EPGY course? What EPGY course? no issue exists</p>
