<p>I'm a Senior EECS major at UC Berkeley. I've taken a few semesters off to make money and work at internships. I'm considering taking another semester off before I return again. Is there a limit to how many semesters that I can withdraw from and still return get my degree?</p>
<p>I've heard of someone who took three years off and then returned to complete his degree, but I'm not sure that this is true. If it makes a difference, I'm a transfer student. I'd appreciate any help.</p>
<p>You might not want to take so many semesters off that the curriculum changes so dramatically that you have trouble finding the classes that were defined to complete your degree. Your well-developed skills in designed vacuum tube circuits, experimenting with the luminiferous ether, calculating with slide rules and abacii and the deft way you work in the chem lab on phlogiston reactions and in biology with the animating humours and miasmas - those MAY no longer help you score As in classes.</p>
<p>Hahaha - I can appreciate that. Anyone have a serious answer or speculation?</p>
