The information on this site

  • The pages of this site give general information about the University. We keep them accurate, and each policy carries a version number.
  • Nothing on this site is an offer of admission. An offer is made only in writing, to a named applicant, after a review of that applicant's documents.
  • The fees, the courses and the rules that apply to you are the ones in your written offer and in the edition of the catalog attached to your enrolment agreement.
  • A degree supports a career. Nothing on this site is a promise of employment, of promotion, or of how an employer, a university or an authority will treat a degree. Our quality and accreditation statement says where the University stands.
Section 3

The tools on this site

They are here to help you decide. None of them makes a decision about you.

  • Experience estimatorIt gives a first estimate from your answers. It is not an assessment, and it does not commit the University to any number of courses.
  • Sample lesson and sample testThey are for practice. Your answers are not recorded as a result, and they earn no credit.
  • The assistant"Ask Berkshire" is an AI tool that answers from the information on this site. It can be wrong. Where its answer differs from a page of this site, the page applies. Please do not type personal or confidential details into it.
  • Forms and documentsWhat you send through a form is handled as the privacy policy describes. Your documents remain yours. By sending them you allow the University to use them to review your application and to keep your record, and you confirm that they are genuine.
Section 4

The verification page

  • The verification page is for checking a document that you hold, or that was given to you, using the number and the code printed on it.
  • A result shows what the University's records say at the moment of the check.
  • Guessing codes, and checking documents in bulk by automated means, are not allowed. The page pauses after repeated wrong codes.
  • If you need to confirm a document and do not have its code, write to the registrar.
Section 5

Your account

  • A Student Portal account belongs to one person.
  • Keep your password to yourself. What is done in your account is treated as done by you.
  • If you think someone else has used your account, tell us at once so that we can secure it.
  • Letting another person study or sit a test in your account breaks the academic integrity policy.
Section 6

  • Give a false name, or send a document that is not genuine or is not yours.
  • Try to reach another person's records, or any part of the site that is not open to you.
  • Disrupt the site, probe its security, or collect its content by automated means.
  • Copy, share or sell test questions or course materials.
  • Use the site to send unlawful, abusive or misleading content.

We may suspend access for anyone who does these things, and a false document ends an application or an enrolment.

  • Governing lawThese terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States.
