Office of Enrollment Management
Enrollment Management (EM) at the University of California, Berkeley is a comprehensive unit dedicated to supporting students throughout their entire academic journey—from early outreach through graduation. While the Office of Enrollment Management primarily oversees services for undergraduate students, several departments within the unit serve broader communities. The Center for Educational Partnerships supports pre‑college and community college populations, while the Office of the Registrar and Financial Aid & Scholarships also provide essential services to graduate students.
By integrating the Center for Educational Partnerships, Undergraduate Admissions, Financial Aid & Scholarships, and the Registrar, Enrollment Management offers coordinated resources that help students navigate each stage of their educational journey. Our unit plays a vital role in shaping each incoming undergraduate class, strengthening student retention, and connecting learners with crucial services related to academic records, enrollment processes and financial support. From guiding prospective students through admissions to assisting current students with registration and financial aid, Enrollment Management is committed to empowering every Golden Bear—and future Bears—throughout their Berkeley experience.
