To verify that you have satisfied each requirement, contact the Office of the Registrar, (120 Sproul Hall, 510-643-7490) or check online with Bear Facts . Here are brief descriptions:

• Entry-Level Writing (formerly Subject A)

The General Catalog describes, in detail, several ways that it may be satisfied. Students who have not fulfilled the Subject A requirement prior to enrolling at UC Berkeley should enroll in College Writing 1A. Direct questions to the College Writing Programs office, 112 Wheeler Hall (510-642-5570).

• American History and American Institutions
  These requirements are designed to ensure that students have a basic understanding of U.S. history and governmental institutions. They are normally satisfied with high school courses.
