Hosting a Decal
The Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SCET) supports the value that Decal courses bring to SCET and the greater UC Berkeley community. Students interested in having their DeCal course hosted through SCET must attend a mandatory SCET decal workshop and submit complete proposals by June 15th for the Fall semester and October 1st for the Spring semester. The workshops are held in the Spring semester. Please reach out to the scet-academics@berkeley.edu to ensure you will get the announcements. The SCET Academic Program Manager is available prior to the deadlines to answer questions and support students in submitting their proposals for consideration. Submissions after the established deadlines will not be considered. Incomplete proposals will also not be considered.
If you are interested in submitting a request for SCET to host your Decal please see the Decal webpage regarding the necessary paperwork. Please submit your proposal here. To host a Decal in Fall 2025, proposals must be submitted by June 15, 2024.
Student facilitators may receive academic credit as long as they complete the required facilitator training, and their name is listed as a facilitator on the proposal packet. Facilitators must do BOTH in order to enroll and receive academic credit as a student facilitator for the DeCal course. Students listed on the proposal packet who did not complete the required facilitator training by the established deadline will not be listed as a facilitator on the proposal and will not be eligible to earn academic credit.
