Questions
I didn't get the 6-digit code.
Check your spam or promotions folder. Codes work for 10 minutes; ask for a new one if it has expired.
My email address has changed.
Message the alumni committee on the WhatsApp group. They'll update it, and then you can sign in with the new address.
Can I sign in with my phone number?
Not yet. Sign-in is by email only for now.
How do I stop the emails?
Click “Unsubscribe” at the bottom of any alumni email, or untick “Email me about alumni news” on your profile.
Who can see my business listing?
Everyone. Business listings are public, so customers outside the alumni community can find you too.
