- Web Site
Two primary web sites serve the Ecolint Online community.
The first was established in 1995 to
provide a web site for alumni activities (http://www.florin.com/ecolint/) , while a second domain
was added in 1999 to support the online
email discussion group (http://alumni.ecolint.net). Both sites are linked together and are
maintained by alumni.
- Registration
Online registration is available by following the links to the
Alumni World Network from our web site. Registration covers
personal information including: years at the school, postal
address, online coordinates, alumni participation, and a
personal introduction.
This information is used by the alumni association in Geneva
to keep our records updated, and provides input for the
online membership directory. Postal addresses and telephone
numbers are used solely by the alumni office and are not
displayed in the online directory.
Your email address is the primary identification
for accessing the online membership directory. When
a new email address is encountered, a new registration
record is created for you.
All registrations are reviewed by the alumni office and Ecolint
Online before being included in the membership database.
Once your registration information has been verified, access to
the Alumni World Network pages is enabled.
In most cases access will be available by the following week day,
though additional time may elapse due to holidays, vacations,
and the availability of alumni volunteers.
- Accessing the online directory
Your email address is key to accessing the Alumni World Network
pages. Once your email address is matched to one used to register,
a session password will be automatically sent to this same address.
This password can be used only once. When this password is received
in your email inbox, type it into the box indicated and then press
the "Send password" button. The session password
must be used within 15 minutes before it expires.
In most cases, the password is sent immediately. There may be times
however, when the message containing the session password does not
reach your email service. There are many possible causes for this
type of delay, most of which are beyond the control of our web servers.
If the session password has not arrived in your email inbox within 15
minutes, please login again.
