Students with prior experience in a Scandinavian language should contact the language coordinator for a placement exam. The placement test must be taken prior to or within the first week of instruction.
Language coordinator: Dr. Lotta Weckstrom, lotta.weckstrom@berkeley.edu.
Native, Near-Native, Heritage Speakers: The specific language sections are only open to learners of the specific Scandinavian language of instruction in the section. The course is not open to native, near-native, or heritage speakers of any Nordic language without prior consent from the language coordinator. The course cannot be repeated without prior consent from the language coordinator.
UC Online/Cross-Campus Enrollment: Undergraduate students at other UC campuses can join Danish 1B, Scandinavian 100A and 100B by enrolling via UC Online. UC Berkeley is the home campus with live class instruction; other UC students will participate through a live video feed. Graduate students from other UCs can enroll via Intercampus Exchange.
Students at California Community Colleges and CSUs: Enroll through a Cross-Enrollment Program (select institutions only) or Intersegmental Cross-Enrollment
Concurrent Enrollment: If you are not a currently registered student, you may be able to enroll via Concurrent Enrollment, UC Berkeley Extension. Please note that the Concurrent Enrollment application must be approved by the department. Approval is based on availability of space in the class; enrolled UC students on a waitlist have priority.
Please be aware that no auditing is permitted in Scandinavian language courses.
Study Abroad: UCEAP and Berkeley Global Internships programs are available in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Language coursework may be available in select programs -- students usually take a placement assessment upon arrival in their program to determine the proper course.
