Update Listing
Online Student Organizations Recognition Instructions (Click here for printable version)
First, go to https://uaonline.alaska.edu/banprod/owa/bwgk2gid.P_DisplayID_Request to get your UA Username. Then send an email to the Assistant Coordinator of Student Organizations, at SOCoord@uaf.edu to register yourself as a user. Be sure to include your full name, UA Username, and student organization name.
Once you are registered as an approved user, you will receive a confirmation email.
Next, go to http://elmo.alaska.edu to set up your password. It will guide you through a short series of questions. Once you have your password you can go to http://www.alaska.edu/woodcenter/leadership/organizations/update/ and click on “Log In.”
Once you have your username and password you will be able to log-in and click on the name of the student organization listing you wish to update (for many of you there may only be one option).
Click “update student organization record” to get into your database. The chart below will explain what needs to be entered step-by-step. It is always a good idea to click on “update” often. At any time you can click on Email for Help and send your questions!
Once you have all your information entered and you are ready to submit for approval, click “Update” at the bottom of the record.
Click “Access Menu” on the left. Click on your student organization one more time. Click “Submit Student Organization Record for Approval.” This will automatically add your organization to our queue. These updates will be approved as quickly as possible and notify you via email whether you have been approved or need to add further information.
Helpful Hints for Using the Online Database:
- Remember your UA username is not the same as your UAF student id# or your computer username; go to https://uaonline.alaska.edu/banprod/owa/bwgk2gid.P_DisplayID_Request to determine your UA username.
- Grey fields will be filled in by the Leadership Program Office.
- Be sure to hit update whenever you are making changes to your record or you will lose the latest version.
- Every organization must update their record each fall (by October 1) in order to secure meeting space and be considered for Club Council and Community Contributions.
- Remember…the more complete your work, the easier it will be for us to approve your organization in a timely fashion.
- New student organizations should contact the Leadership Program office at 474-1959 or SOCoord@uaf.edu for information about additional steps necessary to become an active student organization.
- BE SURE TO UPDATE ALL CHANGES AS THEY OCCUR!!!!
