Summer Orientation

The Berkeley Center's summer orientation provides a unique opportunity for new and returning students to experience summer in the Bay Area.


New students benefit from entering the program in the summer for several reasons.

Students can have a comprehensive assessment so that arrangements can be made for any special accommodations they may require to be successful academically.

The new student is also able to establish bank accounts, get to know the community, and settle into their apartment in a more reasonable time frame, rather than trying to accomplish all these things in the one week prior to classes beginning in the fall.

Current students can use the summer program to take additional courses at a local college, business, dance or music school.

The summer is also a wonderful opportunity for all students to experience all the cultural events that make Berkeley, California a favorite tourist destination.
