The Admissions Representative will assist students in choosing the program that best meets their needs and career goals. The Admissions Representative and faculty are available to students by telephone, email, fax, and mail if needed. Upon enrollment, students receive a user ID and password that will allow them access to the virtual campus environment.

In addition, students can enjoy the Virtual Library and virtual student forums.
The educational programs and the instructional materials are designed explicitly for guided independent study through distance learning. Online student educational programs and instructional materials are a combination of instructor-guided study and guided independent study. This self-paced approach requires constant effort on the student's part, encouraged by frequent evaluation from the instructor. Each program includes modules and instructional materials with clear directions for the learning assessments to be completed. The school provides electronic lesson books and supplements for most modules. In these cases, physical textbooks and supplements are available for student purchase. Demonstration of mastery of the student's instruction is accomplished by self-study activities and required quizzes/assignments. Required quizzes/assignments are recorded by the school and form a part of the student's permanent record. Most students choose to submit quizzes through the student website; however, students may also email or mail quizzes to their instructor. Students are notified of their grades via the student website. In addition, if a student emails or mails a quiz, the graded assessment will be returned in a like manner. Correction and constructive criticism of submitted quizzes by the instructor reflect the measure of progress for each student and may point out areas needing special attention. Further assistance is provided to each student whenever necessary.
Successful course completion in an BAHU course depends on routinely following the instruction and guidelines provided in the course syllabus. Attendance is measured and recorded by posting responses to weekly discussion questions, participation in our peer assessment process, timely submission of assignments, weekly compilation of a Learning Journal, and the taking periodic quizzes. The student is responsible for checking and becoming familiar with the course syllabus and requirements at the beginning of each course. As indicated above, while attendance is measured by participation in a number of activities, attendance and participation in those activities accounts for approximately 70% of the grade in each course, with a final examination constituting approximately 30%. Therefore, a student who chooses not to attend cannot pass a course.
