Dear Students, Scholars, and Employees:
Effective immediately, Berkeley International Office is closed through April 7 due to Alameda County’s “shelter in place” guidance, which advises county residents to self-isolate in their residences beginning Tuesday, March 17 at 12:01 a.m. through Tuesday, April 7 in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 to the maximum extent possible. We will send an update if this date changes.
While our office is closed, we will maintain our virtual student advising and other advising services through email and phone. Please note that during our closure, you can call our office at this temporary number: (510) 306-4827. BIO will be updating our COVID-19 Updates & FAQ page with further details regarding document requests and processing during the closure.
