University of California Berkeley Summer Sessions Online

In addition to in-person classes, Berkeley Summer Session offers hundreds of online classes specifically developed for the online platform through its Digital Learning Services (DLS). This digital learning environment allows you flexibility with your study schedule while you experience the quality and excellence of UC Berkeley classes from the convenience of your own home. Even if you can’t physically attend, you can still experience the best UC Berkeley has to offer.

Courses vary in length and are offered through Summer Sessions A to F (late May to mid-August).

Note: Online-courses may have exams that require you to find a proctor in order for you to take the exams
