How To: Search the Alumni Directory

How to Search the Alumni Directory for Social and Professional Networking

As an alumnus or alumna of Berkeley, you are connected to thousands of other alumni, many of whom would be interested in connecting with you.  The alumni website, BerkeleyConnect, provides you with a great opportunity to make this happen.


  1. The first step is to open a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
  2. In the address bar, type www.berkeleycollege.edu.

    This will take you to the Berkeley College homepage, a great resource for students and alumni.
  3. On the left side of the screen, click “Alumni”.  This will take you to BerkeleyConnect, the alumni website.
We are constantly tweaking our website to be more responsive to your needs and requests.  On this page, you can see our main navigation links:
  • Update Your Information
  • News, Events & Media
  • Career Opportunities
  • Continuing Education
  • Get Involved
  • Resources & Benefits
  • Login to the Alumni Network
You will also see some of highlighted alumni programs rotating on the right side of your screen.


Below this section, you will see our Alumni Facebook stream.  As you can see, you can become a fan of the Facebook page simply by clicking the “Like” button.


We have also posted your most frequently asked questions, as well as links to many of our alumni networks.
  1. To start using your network, click the “Login to the Alumni Network” link on the left side of the page.

    On this page, you can see several steps that you should use to begin creating your alumni network.  You will notice that step one invites you to update your information, search the alumni directory, and instructions on how to register for the first time.

  2. Once you click on “Search the Alumni Directory”, you will be prompted to sign in.  If you have forgotten your login information, click “Forgot” to have a temporary password sent to you.

    If you haven’t already, click the “Register Now” link to create your alumni account.

  3. After you sign in, you will see the “Basic Search” page.  At the bottom of the page, we have included tips to help your search.  You can search by last name, first name, or class year.

    There are several more search options available for you to use.

  4. On the right side of the screen, click “Advanced” to enhance your search.  Advanced search allows you to find other alumni by name and class year, as well as by location and professional information.  You can also filter results by searching only for alumni who have already registered on the site.
Congratulations on beginning to use the Berkeley College alumni network!
