Navigate Berkeley

A Guide to Thrive at UC Berkeley for Undergraduate and Graduate Students.

Engage. Explore. Experience.

Student Affairs is here to help students transition into, navigate through, and connect beyond their UC Berkeley college experience. We want to make a big, public institution feel smaller.
