American History & Institutions (AH&I)

Have I completed the American History and Institutions requirements?

• Check on Info-BEARS by calling 510-642-9400 and selecting "Profile Information" from the "Personal Information Menu." Also, once you have completed your first term at Berkeley, the University requirements of Entry Level Writing, American History, American Institutions, and American Cultures will show up on the top of your transcript (student record) as either "requirement satisfied" or "required."
  
  
• These requirements are completed by about 95% of students entering Berkeley with coursework in high school, test scores, or transferred credit.
  
  
• As a senior, if you have not yet completed AH&I, then you must plan to complete the requirement by the end of the semester that you plan to graduate.
  
  
• The American History and Institutions requirement is a University of California requirement for all students (excluding international students) on all UC campuses.
