You did it! Way to go!!! New frosh and transfer students—congratulations on your decision to attend the University of California, Berkeley! We invite you and your family to begin your Berkeley experience by participating in the Cal Student Orientation (CalSO) Program.
Fall 2013 frosh, FPF, and transfer admits can find out about available programs by using the log on button. Programs fill on a first-come, first-served basis.

This summer all high-rise residence halls will be undergoing construction to prepare them for fall semester students; unfortunately, this is happening during CalSO. The number of summer overnight spaces has been greatly reduced, and only students will be able to stay in the residence halls during orientation. Parents and guests are still strongly encouraged to attend CalSO at a discounted rate, and alternate housing arrangements are available. More information.
Spring 2014 frosh (non-FPF) and transfer admits are not yet able to sign up for a program, but we'll contact you in early September with more information.
If you can't attend CalSO, you need to submit a "can't attend" explanation by June 9 to receive enrollment information. Use the log on button below.
