It is responsible for its own separate admissions, health, security, guidance and placement services, and has its own alumnae association. Nonetheless, Barnard students participate in the academic, social, athletic and extracurricular life of the broader university community on a reciprocal basis. The affiliation permits the two schools to share some academic resources; for example, only Barnard has an [[urban studies]] department and only Columbia has a [[computer science]] department. Most Columbia classes are open to Barnard students and vice versa. Barnard students and faculty are represented in the University Senate, and student organizations such as the ''[[Columbia Daily Spectator]]'' are open to all students. Barnard students play on Columbia athletics teams and Barnard uses Columbia email, telephone, and network services.<ref name="stallone20120216" /><ref name="bccupartnership2" />

Barnard athletes compete in the [[Ivy League]] ([[NCAA Division I]]) through the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium, which was established in 1983. Through the arrangement, Barnard is the only [[Women's colleges in the United States|women's college]] offering Division{{nbsp}}I athletics.<ref name="athletics2">{{cite web |url=http://www.barnard.edu/athletics |title=Athletics |access-date=March 12, 2020 |archive-date=March 19, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200319080326/https://barnard.edu/athletics |url-status=live}}</ref> There are 15 [[College athletics|intercollegiate teams]], and students also compete at the [[Intramural sports|intramural]] and club levels. From 1975 to 1983, before the establishment of the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium, Barnard students competed as the "Barnard Bears".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://issuu.com/barnard/docs/magazine-spring09/6 |title=Magazine-Spring09/6 |date=May 18, 2009 |publisher=Issuu.com |access-date=February 20, 2011 |archive-date=March 14, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314015148/http://issuu.com/barnard/docs/magazine-spring09/6 |url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to 1975, students referred to themselves as the "Barnard honeybears".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19640221-01.2.2 |title=Columbia Daily Spectator 21 February 1964 — Columbia Spectator |website=spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu |access-date=June 11, 2016 |archive-date=June 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611144815/http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19640221-01.2.2 |url-status=live}}</ref>
