Enrollment instructions for students who are not officially declared Mass Communications majors:

Mass Comm 10 is only offered at Cal during the fall and summer semesters. Enrollment in the fall is limited to sophomores (These students will have completed between 30 and 59.9 semester units through the preceding spring term.) and junior college transfers who specifically listed Mass Communications as the intended major on their admissions application to the university. Summer session's Mass Comm N10 also satisfies the majors' MC 10 prerequisite. It is much easier to enroll in this course than in MC 10 during the fall. A list of approved transferable substitutes for Masscom 10 may be found at http://ls.berkeley.edu/ugis/masscomm/major/declaring-prereqs.php. There is no waiting list for MC 10 this fall. Students unable to enroll in the course should send Marty Gaetjens an e-mail (sfyankee@berkeley.edu) with the subject heading of "MC 10". This e-mail should include their student ID number and identify any MC prerequisites taken elsewhere. These e-mails will be reviewed by faculty. They will not receive responses. Students should attend the first lecture of the course for further instructions. No discussion sections will meet before the first lecture.
*Mass Comm 102 only admits officially declared Mass Comm majors through the end of Phase II of Tele-Bears (August 17.) Intended Mass Comm majors should never attempt to enroll in this class until they have completed Mass Comm 10 or an equivalent course.
Non majors attempting to enroll in this course should place themselves on the waiting list and also send Marty Gaetjens an e-mail (sfyankee@berkeley.edu). They should include a subject heading of the class number (MC 102) they're attempting to enroll in. Please include student ID number, identify any MC prerequisites taken elsewhere and list suitable alternative discussion sections. These e-mails will not receive responses. Non majors should consult Info-Bears from August 24 through the first week of classes concerning their status in this class.

Academic credit for internships is only approved for officially declared Mass Comm majors.

Credit for internships is available only to officially declared Mass Comm majors with junior or senior standing. Please contact Professor Jean Retzinger for details.
