Engineering Cooperative Education Program:
UCB Engineering students (sophomore --> grad who will return to UCB) take a 6-month leave from classes to work in Engineering firms. These students are considered to be on leave of absence by the registrar, and are re-admitted without fee upon their retur
n. Participants present an Engineering Coop. registration card to the Privileges Desk as proof of eligibility for library privileges at a reduced fee.

International Exchange Programs, International and Area Studies:
UCB has written agreements with 20-30 overseas academic institutions and with 2 consortia of institutions numbering an additional 60 institutions. These agreements are often "good will" agreements. About 10 master-level students come to campus each year t
hrough this program, to work with a specific faculty member; to take one or more courses; or to work in a research lab. Students are required to enroll and pay for one 2-unit independent study course. Other courses are audited for free. Although the progr
am is reciprocal on paper, UCB students do not enroll in overseas universities under these agreements. The Dean, International and Area Studies, actively promotes this program as a development tool.

Visiting Scholars:
Effective July 1, 1996, scholars who are authenticated by one of the following units as a "visiting scholar" will be eligible for enhanced library privileges. Visiting Scholars receive a "blue visiting scholar" card from their accrediting unit. Visiting s

terlibrary Borrowing Services. Units who may authenticate that someone is a visiting scholar (or postdoctoral scholar, see below) include: The Graduate Division; International and Area Studies; the Colleges of Chemistry, Engineering and Natural Resources;
and the Schools of Law and Education.

Postdoctoral scholars:
Effective July 1, 1996, Postdoctoral scholars and research fellows are accredited and offered library privileges per the same procedures as are visiting scholars (see text above.) Postdoctoral scholars receive a "gold Post-doc" card from their accrediting
unit, and present this to the Library Privileges Desk in order to obtain their library card. Postdoctoral scholars receive free Interlibrary Borrowing Services.

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Center for Science and Engineering Education Semester Program:
15 students in the fall semester and 30 students in the spring semester are matched through this program to research units either at LBL or UCB. Students are most often college juniors or seniors; sometimes have just graduated. Students work 40/week in th
e lab and are paid a stipend. Additionally, they each take 1 course at UCB (which might be in any discipline, although most often in the physical sciences.) Program funded by the Department of Education Science and Engineering Research Semester Program.

National Laboratories:
The Berkeley campus is charged by the Federal Government to oversee the administration of the Lawrence Berkeley Lab (LBL) and Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL). The Library offers library privileges to lab staff, researchers and guests for each acade
mic year, asking for proof of employment and status (e.g. Lab badge).
LBL/LLL academic: yellow 03; free (no proxy; no spouse/domestic partner/ no Stanford)

Miller Institute for the Basic Research in Science:
The Miller Institute is an endowed institute, with essentially 3 programs in support of basic research in science:
* a post doctoral program (20 per year, "cream of the crop", selected by world-wide nomination process),
* a visiting professorship program (16-24/year invited to bolster UCB departmental teaching/research staff and/or to work on collaborative projects with UCB faculty and grads), and
* the Miller Professorship Program (almost all UCB faculty funded for a research on-campus "sabbatical".)
All three programs are very prestigious (comparable to the Harvard Society of Fellows), and all participants contribute directly to the teaching and research programs of the campus.

UC-Community College Concurrent Enrollment Program:
Agreement between UCB and community colleges; Letters and Sciences acts as liaison between community colleges and the UCB registrar's office. L&S also informs library of eligible participants. Program involving approximately 100 students per semester who
enroll in one lower division class at UCB, while also registered in a community college. Stated program goals: "to increase the accessibility of the University to students who might not otherwise enroll; to allow students who require courses not available
at their home institution to obtain those courses if available at the University; to permit students to test their potential for success in a university setting." Latest agreements signed in 1982. Participating community colleges include Chabot, City Col
lege of SF, College of Alameda, Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, Laney College, Merritt College, Los Medanos College, Ohlone College, Peralta College for Non-traditional Study, Peralta Community college, Solano Community College. No funding fo
r this program; it is pro bono by the University to community colleges. UCB students do not attend community college classes under this agreement (i.e. not a reciprocal program). Note: library privileges are referenced in their enrollment materials.
