Can Confirm that it is insanely easy to hustle your way into berkeley. I had a friend or two do while I was there. In the meantime, there's no need to not follow along, and there's no need for enrollment through extension (and with no added work for the teaching staff). the intro websites archives are at: 1) http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/archives http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/archives 2) http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61b/archives http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61b/archives 3) http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61c/archives http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61c/archives the current semester is at http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/ http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/ and so on. If you click through you should notice that all the readings and lecture notes and assignments are totally publicly viewable. the only thing standing between you and doing that whole class on your own (minus, the final) is your will power. At least one semester of the courses are at webcast.berkeley.edu or on youtube. Again, totally public. If you really want to, you can even attend lecture since berkeley is an open campus and no one will check to see what you're doing there. Be warned, though, the classes are really impacted right now, so you might not even get a seat. The only downside to doing it this way is that you don't get official credit. If you really want that, you could take it via extension, but I highly doubt they'll let you in since even declared majors are having all sorts of trouble signing up for classes (the intro series went from like 300 students to >1200 per semester in like 2 years, so they are having some growth issues :).
