If you must miss more than two days of classes, notify your instructors and the MBA Program Office by phone or e-mail with an explanation. The Program Office will work with you and your instructors if you will be absent for a substantial amount of time.
This notification does not imply that you will be excused for missing classes. Faculty members reserve the right to include class participation in their final grades, so be sure to discuss any missed classes with your instructors.
Faculty members may require documentation from University Health Services if you miss exams or fail to complete other course work.

Transfer to the Evening & Weekend MBA (EWMBA) Program
|
|
| |
On a space-available basis, you may transfer to the EWMBA Program in the Fall. The number of spaces available is determined in February, based on the forecast of the number of EWMBA students continuing and returning that Fall, and on the number of seats in elective classes expected to be available. Contact the MBA Program Office to find out how many spaces are available.
By February 15, any eligible full-time student who is in good academic standing (i.e., has a grade point average above 3.0 and has successfully completed all core courses) who wants to transfer must complete and return the following documents to the Transfer Committee in the EWMBA Program Office (S440):
• A Change of Major Form (found at http://registrar.berkeley.edu/GeneralInfo/elecforms.html) requesting a transfer from the Full-Time (FT) MBA Program to the EWMBA Program.
• A one-page essay answering two questions: Why do you want to transfer, including any changed circumstances since your application to the FT MBA Program? How will this transfer facilitate your academic and career goals?
• An up-to-date résumé detailing professional experience, academic accomplishments and other relevant information (two-page maximum).
After reviewing all transfer applications, the Transfer Committee may invite applicants to interview. Admission to the EWMBA Program will be based on several criteria, including:
- Quality of professional experience
- Leadership potential
- Academic ability
Students who are approved for transfer will have two weeks to make a decision. This deadline must be met to give students on the wait-list the time to make their decisions. Once you have accepted the transfer offer, your decision is irrevocable for the subsequent Fall semester.
Transfer students must complete 44 units in the EW Program to graduate. Credits earned in the FT Program will be applied toward the 44 units. The extra two units account for the Data and Decisions core course already taken in the FT MBA core. Once you transfer, you must complete the remaining units within two years for a total of three years to graduation.
Transfer students may return to the FT MBA Program after finishing their first semester in the EWMBA Program. If you are interested in this option, refer to the Policy on Transferring From the EWMBA Program to the FT MBA Program found at http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/EWMBA/newtransfer.html.

Withdrawal and Readmission
|
|
| |
The full-time MBA program is designed to be completed in four consecutive semesters, excluding the Summer Session. In exceptional circumstances (e.g., illness, death in the family, financial hardship), you may petition for temporary withdrawal from the program. You must have the written approval of the MBA Program Director before the Graduate Division will consider your request for temporary withdrawal.
Students who leave the program without approval will not be readmitted. If you fail to request an extension of your withdrawal status by contacting the MBA Program Director, you may not be allowed to resume your studies; instead, you may be required to reapply through the regular admissions process and if admitted, start the program from the beginning.
If you do not return within seven years from the time that you began the program, your only option for returning to Haas is to reapply through the regular admissions process and if admitted, start the program from the beginning. None of your prior coursework will be applied toward your degree requirements.
Petition forms for withdrawal and readmission are available from the MBA Program Office.
