StuAct Online: Getting Started

Step 1:  Create an Account 

Your StuAct online account gives you access to personalized resources, organization management, event registration, and more.   

 

How to Sign In 

The link to log in can be found on the StuAct Online homepage: 

http://studentactivities.tamu.edu/online/ 

Clicking the “Log In” button will take you to the Central Authentication System (CAS) login page. 

Use your NetID to log in to this page.  Your NetID is more commonly referred to as your “NEO username,” and is the same username you use to check Neo Webmail.  Accounts specific to a particular office (such as Division of Student Affairs “DSA” accounts) will not work on this page.  If you have trouble logging in or need your username/password information, please contact CIS at http://gateway.tamu.edu/. 

Once you have successfully logged in, you will be returned to StuAct Online to set up your profile. 

Set Up Your Profile 

The first time you log in to StuAct Online, you will be asked to set up a personal profile.  This information is kept internally by our system, and is used solely to identify you when you sign up for events or join organizations.  The public cannot view your personal profile.   

When you have finished editing your profile, you will be returned to the StuAct Online homepage.  Should any of the information in your personal profile change, you can return to this page at any time by visiting the “Profile” tab on the top navigation bar.   If only your email changes, an email will be sent immediately to the address identified.  Please confirm through the link provided to ensure the validity of your email address.   

 

 

Step 2:  Join an Organization Add Org

Now that you have a StuAct Online account, you can use two ways to find your organization and request to join it.   

 

A)    Add an Organization button 

Locate and click the “Add an Organization” button found under your “My Organizations” section of StuAct Online to start your process. 

Find an Organization 

The built-in search feature of StuAct Online allows you to find any organization that exists in our database.  Enter the full or partial name into the search toolbar and select your organization found through the list provided. 

Choose Position 

A list of all currently available positions will be shown through a drop down menu.  This list is determined both by the current roster of the organization (positions that are already filled are listed as "Currently Filled") and your current GPR, which will automatically exclude you from becoming an officer unless you meet the necessary GPR requirements.  If you do not have a GPR history (such as a freshman, transfer or graduate student), or wish to begin the GPR appeals process, please contact the Department of Student Activities.   

If you have requested to become an advisor, only a member of the Department of Student Activities staff can approve your request.  Once the advisor position(s) are filled, the advisor(s) can approve the chief student leader and treasurer positions.  All other positions can be approved by the advisor(s), chief student leader, or treasurer. 

Once your request has been processed, you will be notified by email.  If you have requested to fill an officer or advisor position, you should return to StuAct Online at this time to manage your organization. 

 

B)    Search for an Organization          Find an Organization

To begin searching, visit the “Organizations” tab on the top navigation bar of the Student Activities homepage.  You can enter an organization’s full name, partial name, abbreviation, or account number (i.e. 999999), or search by first letter or classification. 

Once you select your chosen organization, you will be directed to the organization’s public profile.  A green “Add Organization” tab can be selected to become part of its officer roster.

Step 3:  Manage the Organization 

If you are an advisor or officer of an organization, you will gain access to a large set of tools when you associate your StuAct Online account with the organization.  This page describes these tools.    

 

Public Profile 

The organization’s public profile is visible to anyone who uses the StuAct Online system.  The information listed on this page describes your organization, its purpose, and pubic contact information for anyone interested in the organization.  As part of the StuAct Online recognition process, you are required to keep this profile updated frequently. 

OrgMatch Profile 

The OrgMatch student involvement profiler system requires an increased amount of information from organizations to ensure it is as accurate as possible.  As an organization, setting up your OrgMatch profile will increase the accuracy of this system, and will encourage students using the system to inquire about your organization. 

Officers and Strengths 

You can view or download the full leadership of your organization at any time.  The roster includes the phone numbers and email addresses listed in the personal profiles of your officers. Additionally, if your organization’s officers have submitted their Strengths to the system, these are all visible as a combined spreadsheet on the “Strengths” page. 

Recognition Checklist 

The Recognition Checklist is a visual representation of your organization’s progress in the current recognition cycle.  You can check this page at any time to ensure you still meet all necessary requirements for recognition, and to find out more about any upcoming changes to your organization. 

SOFC Statements 

Your organization’s SOFC statements are now stored online for easy access.  From this page, you can download PDF copies of any statement from January 2007 to the present. 

Web/E-mail Accounts 

Hosting your website or email address with Student Activities is simpler than ever.  If you already have a web or email account, your login information is kept online for easy access, along with additional helpful information.  If not, you can always request a website or email address directly from this page. 

Signature Cards 

The SOFC signature card, the one remaining piece of paperwork required in the recognition process, is filled in automatically by StuAct Online.  When you visit this page, the system will inform you if you meet the minimum requirements for printing a signature card (having at least one advisor, a chief student leader, and a treasurer), and will take you to a printable PDF that, when printed and signed by the officers listed on it, can be turned in to the SOFC.  The SOFC will not accept handwritten signature cards.

 

What Is StuAct Online? 

StuAct Online is the online resource center for the Department of Student Activities at Texas A&M University.  It combines the various functions and services of the Department into a single system that can be used by all students, faculty, and staff of the University. 

Online Recognition 

The student organization recognition process has been streamlined and is completely managed online.  The requirements for recognition (i.e. an updated constitution, seminars, a valid SOFC signature card, etc.) are all part of a checklist that can be viewed and completed by the organization’s advisors and officers. 

Every component of the recognition process except the SOFC signature card is paperless.  Constitutions can be uploaded as Word documents or PDFs, and the acknowledgement of advisor expectation has been integrated into the online advisor training process.  

Organization Rosters 

With StuAct Online, you can track your entire organization’s leadership online.  Minimum roster requirements for a recognized student organization include an advisor, chief student leader, and treasurer.  Advisors and officers can create their own profiles inside the system and join your organization.   Once your roster is complete, you can download the entire list as an Excel spreadsheet.  As a reminder, this roster is essential and impacts other aspects of the recognition process like your SOFC signature card and officer trainings. 

Access to Resources 

Your organization’s SOFC statements are available to your organization’s advisor, chief student leader, and treasurer through StuAct Online at all times.  Even if the leadership or advisors of the organization change, these statements remain available online for up to three fiscal years.  Special permission can be provided. 

If your website or email account is provided by Student Activities IT, your login information is also stored inside the system.  If not, you can request both directly from within your organization’s profile.  Our website structuring is founded by the drupal system.  It is an easy template-based system that can be utilized by all levels of computer users. 

Events & Seminars 

All events and seminars held by the Department of Student Activities are available for signup inside StuAct Online.  Once you have signed up for an event, you can download it directly to your Microsoft Outlook or iCal-compatible calendar. 

Please bring your TAMU ID to the event.  The event facilitator will swipe your ID card and confirm your attendance.  If you are the officer or advisor of more than one organization, every organization will receive credit for the event automatically. 

StrengthsQuest Profiles 

If the members of your organization have ever completed StrengthsQuest training, they can list their strengths inside their Strengths Profile.  Advisors and officers can the view or download a comprehensive list of the strengths of every leader of their organization, as well as charts showing the most prominent strengths. 

OrgMatch 

The OrgMatch student involvement profiler system has been greatly improved, and now matches students to their ideal organizations with greater accuracy.
