Berkeley Support Portal (“Supportal”). This website is designed for everyone in our campus community — undergraduates, graduate and professional students, postdoctoral appointees, staff, faculty and other academic appointees, visiting scholars, visitors to campus, volunteers, and anyone else who has a connection to UC Berkeley.
We know that when folks have a concern or encounter an issue, navigating UC Berkeley can sometimes be challenging or even feel overwhelming. Supportal is a navigational aid, designed to quickly get you to the right campus resource to start to address your particular concern or challenge. To help you find your type of concern quickly, the website is organized into these functional categories:
- Learning, research, and working at UC Berkeley
- Conflict and conflicts of interest
- Personal support needs, like counseling or basic needs support
- On-campus concerns
- Community-specific concerns
- Harm and misconduct
If you have trouble locating your concern, the website offers alternative pathways to resources, including answers to frequently asked questions; a list of campus resources to browse; and links to other campus navigator websites (such as recalibrate.berkeley.edu or the Academic Leaders Toolkit) that can address more common questions and how-to’s or provide resources for specific populations.
We encourage you to explore and share Supportal!

Philosophy of Law
This course explores a number of philosophical themes bearing on the nature of the law and its relationship to morality: e.g., what is law — does its claim rest only on social processes or does law necessarily embody moral claims? Do we have an obligation to obey the law? What are the moral limits of legal punishment?
In addition to engaging these and related substantive issues, the course also attempts to sharpen students’ skills in practical reasoning through the analysis of logical argument. The writing-intensive section, led by Haley Anderson, features supplemental writing exercises (with feedback), in-class debates, and simulations.

My name is Nicole Alexander, and I am a senior at Harvard College. I am currently conducting research for my senior thesis on Black-white biracial identity development among US college students. My thesis will explore the question: What determines the racial identity that Black-white biracial college students express? I would like to interview students who hold a Black-white biracial background to explore this question. The UC Berkeley Office for Protection of Human Subjects informed me that I could conduct this study at your institution as long as I have gained IRB approval from my own institution (which I have).
Sign up to participate in a Harvard senior thesis study & receive a Starbucks gift card!
I am currently conducting research for my senior thesis, and I am looking for participants willing to participate in 1-2 rounds of interviews. Interviews will last approximately 45 minutes, and all participants will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card. If you are interested in participating, please fill out thisQualtrics survey!
Thanks so much! :)

The Fulbright UK Summer Institutes are fully-funded 3–4 week programs for U.S. college freshmen and sophomores who have no, or very little, travel experience outside North America. Participants explore the culture, heritage, and history of the UK while experiencing higher education at a UK university. The six institutes offered in 2024 have unique themes and are based at different universities (see below).
Students interested in applying are welcome to email Keila Diehl at <ourschol-coordinator@berkeley.edu> to discuss the application process. The application deadline is February 1, 2024.
Queens University Belfast - This Summer Institute offers participants a 3-week introduction to the rich tapestry of historical, cultural, political, and socio-economic factors that combine to make Northern Ireland a unique place. This experiential programme will situate Queen’s, Belfast, and the north of Ireland within the key conversations that shape our wider world.
University of St. Andrews - This Summer Institute is a 3-week cultural and academic programme focusing on the theme "Scotland's History: Kingdom, Nation, People." The course examines Scotland’s rich history via the close study of some of the key aspects of the country’s past, drawing on the physical environment, material objects, and written texts to provide a sense of the events and themes that have formed Scotland’s history.
Aberystwyth University - This Summer Institute is a 3-week cultural and academic programme focusing on the theme "Identity and Nationhood through the lens of Wales" at a critical juncture in the politics of Wales, the UK, and wider Europe. The programme will provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of economic and social change, structural and political reform, the relationship of the monarchy with the Welsh nation in the wake of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the implications of dynamics such as migration for the politics of identity and nationhood, and shifting perceptions of Welsh identity and nationhood.
University of Bristol - This Summer Institute is a 3-week cultural and academic programme exploring the intersection of "Arts, Activism and Social Justice." Bristol is an ideal city in which to explore the themes of arts and social change. Having won the 2015 European Green Capital Award, it has a vibrant culture of arts and grassroots activism, and a rich history that includes radical and progressive traditions, and diverse communities. Bristol’s economic history raises important challenges of social justice that are salient in the city today.
Glasgow School of Art & University of Strathclyde - This Summer Institute on "Technology, Innovation and Creativity" will focus on the forces that have shaped the past and are shaping the future of Scotland as a technological, innovative and creative society. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the cultural role of Scottish institutions, historic spaces and places, national galleries and museums, and the evolution of Scotland’s place in the world.
