Alumni Community FAQ

How do I get started?

All Florida Tech Alumni can take advantage of what the On-Line Community has to offer, but each individual must first register on-line.

In order to prevent unauthorized use of our On-Line Community, we have required a Start Up Security ID which must be included as part of your initial registration. This ID will be mailed to everyone shortly. However, in the meantime, if you want access to the On-Line Community now please contact the Alumni Office at alumaffr@fit.edu and your individual ID will be emailed back to you.

Click on the REGISTER icon.

  1. Search for your name on the list of eligible members. Once you find your name and confirm that "Its Me", proceed with your registration by choosing a UserID and Password, and completing a few other pieces of information.
  2. Use this UserID and Password anytime you want to access the community.

How do I choose my User ID?

Your ID must be between 6 and 20 characters long of alphanumeric characters and underscores. (e.g. excluding spaces, commas, or periods) NOTE: Please choose your UserID carefully as it will become the first part of your Permanent E-Mail address should you decide to take advantage of the Permanent E-Mail forwarding service.

What fees are associated with the On-Line Community?

None! The Alumni Online Community is now completely free of charge to all alumni.

Who is in the On-Line Alumni Directory?

All Florida Tech Alumni are listed in the On-Line Directory, unless they specifically requested to be excluded from the 1997 Florida Tech Alumni Directory. If you find you are not listed, please let us know so the oversight can be corrected.

How do I add/remove my contact information to/from the On-Line Alumni Directory?

Alumni have complete control over whether their contact information appears in the On-Line Alumni Directory. You also have total control over what information appears in the On-Line Alumni Directory.

All you need to do is delete the information that you do not want to display. For example, if you only want your work address to be listed, delete your home address from your listing. We strongly encourage you to display your e-mail address.

If you are listed and do not want to be, simply go to the Member Services area of the On-Line Community and choose the Personal Information option, then the UPDATE DIRECTORY option, and then hit the UPDATE button for the name section of your listing. This will put you in the "update mode" for a series of fields. At the bottom of these fields is a check box for Display in the Directory. Uncheck this box and your information will not be displayed in the On-Line Directory. You can change this at any time.

If you would like to be listed and are not, please follow the above steps and once in the UPDATE mode, check the display in Directory Box. Your information will be displayed in the On-Line Alumni Directory. You can change this at any time.

Are address changes sent to the Florida Tech Alumni Office reflected in the On-Line Directory?

Yes.
