For everyone

Joining BSCF Network

Why this page exists

BSCF Network isn't open to the general public — it's alumni and current students only, because the whole point is a directory, a mentoring system, and a calendar that people can trust is really theirs. Signing up is how you get an account; approval is how BSCF makes sure the person joining actually belongs here.

How to sign up

  1. 1Go to the site and click Join in the top right, or Sign in with Google from the login page.
  2. 2Sign in with your Google account. If nothing matching your email exists yet, you're sent straight to the registration form.
  3. 3Fill in your name, whether you're an alum or a current student, graduation year, degree/program, and — for alumni — your current work.
  4. 4Submit. Your account now exists, but it's in "pending review" — you'll see a waiting screen if you sign back in before an admin acts on it.
  5. 5A BSCF admin approves (or rejects) your registration from their Pending sign-ups queue. Once approved, signing in takes you straight into the site.

After you sign up

Signing in again before you're approved shows a simple “your registration is pending” message — nothing is broken, BSCF just hasn't reviewed it yet. Once approved, you land on the homepage like anyone else, and the full site opens up: the directory, Gather, offers/needs/matches, and your profile.

Good to know — if you signed up with the wrong Google account, just sign out and sign back in with the right one — there's nothing to undo, since nothing was created for the wrong account.
