Joining CS 10 Late – What You Need to Know

Can I still catch up?

Yes! With effort, you can get up to speed.

What should I do first?

Start from the beginning—go through the syllabus, lectures, and assignments in order. A handy tracker will be available once you join the class. The class schedule can be found on our home page. You should also fill out this Late Add form to make sure you get added to all of our necessary platforms.

Will I be penalized for missed work?

No, you won’t be penalized for assignments due before you joined. Lecture attendance for past lectures will be waived.

Will deadlines be adjusted for me?

Yes, assignments based on the week you join and past work will be adjusted. A deadline tracker with adjusted due dates can be found here. Note you must be logged into your UC Berkeley account.

Do I still need to take the first exam?

Yes, all students are required to take the first exam: Quiz 1. Other exam policies can be found in our syllabus!

How much time will it take to catch up?

It depends, but expect to spend extra hours at first. Attend OH or Support OH for more catered help.

Can I get extra help?

Yes! Our Regular and Support OH times can be found on this calendar.

Stay focused, reach out for support cs10@berkeley.edu, and you’ll catch up in no time! 🚀
