COURSES
BBSA students are invited to the Departments of Integrative Biology and Molecular & Cell Biology as visiting students and guaranteed admission to 12 course credits within the departments. Students pay tuition for the course credits in the Departments of Integrative Biology and Molecular & Cell Biology, with no exceptions.

TRANSCRIPTS AND GRADES
After completion of studies, grade reports will be issued by UC Berkeley Extension for each of the courses for which you are registered. A comprehensive transcript can be obtained by filing a request. 

COURSE CREDITS
Many students use their coursework at UC Berkeley to transfer back to their home institution to meet degree requirements, based upon the decision of the home institution. Local rules and procedures determine the amount of credits a student will get at his/her home university for course credits from UC Berkeley. Students should consult with their academic advisor in their home department to be sure the courses will transfer. UC Berkeley is a world-known and top-ranked academic institution, and generally, students receive full credit in their home institution for course credits from UC Berkeley.
