Electronic Submission: Graduate Student Application

Prospective students applying for graduate study in the Department of Nuclear Engineering should complete and electronically submit a University of California at Berkeley Graduate Student Application.

Please note: The application is only considered submitted when you press the submit bottom.

The University of California will supply you with a unique ID number when you complete and submit your on-line application. Please write this ID number down. You will need to refer to this number when you make inquiries.

Reactivation: If you submitted an application within the past two years, but did not register, you will need to re-apply.

Your previous application file will remain in the department you applied to for two years. If you are applying to the same program they will have your file; if you are applying to a different program you will need to arrange the transfer of your documents from the original program to the program you want to apply to now. You will be required to create and submit a new application, pay the application fee and submit updated transcripts reflecting any academic work completed since last time you applied. You may also wish to discuss ways of improving your application with the department to which you are applying (contact information is available at http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/programs/, and (based on such a discussion) to submit new GRE scores, letters of recommendation, or a new statement of purpose.

If you are unable to submit your application or supporting material on-line, please contact:
