UCEAP Connect FAQ
How secure is UCEAP Connect?
The platform is a closed network only accessible by individuals that we have approved. You can also control the amount of information that others on the site can see about you through your profile settings. Please take a look at the privacy policy. Please be aware that any information that you share will be viewable by everyone on the platform and UCEAP does not control how another member may use the information. If you have any concerns about your safety, we recommend you remove personal identifiable information. You may also opt to delete your profile at any time. We advise UCEAP alumni who risk suffering serious harm from revealing information that associates them to this platform to exercise caution before taking any action that links them with UCEAP Connect.
What can I do on this platform?
UCEAP Connect makes it easier to maximize the benefits of being part of the UCEAP network.
Your profile: Make instant updates to your contact details and employment information when they change, plus share updates with the rest of the network about projects you’re currently involved in.
Directory: Find old friends, make new connections—professional or personal, and collaborate on special projects.
Knowledge sharing: Volunteer to be a mentor for young alumni, or search for an alumnus who can help you with career advice and information. Read our mentoring guidelines for more information.

Who will I find on it?
You’ll find the entire UCEAP community at your fingertips - alumni, current students, faculty, staff, and UCEAP teams at study centers and institutions around the world. If you know a UCEAP alumnus who is not on there, let them know this is where the community comes together.
Is this just another social media channel?
No. UCEAP Connect does not replace our social media channels. We still want to interact with you on LinkedIn and Facebook. In fact, you can message people through LinkedIn by clicking the ‘Connect on LinkedIn’ button. UCEAP Connect is about creating a space for UCEAP alumni to interact, participate, and inspire each other through mentoring and sharing of experience. It’s different from social media because it enables you to find and connect with the growing UCEAP network in a really easy way.
How can I access the platform?
You can access it on your desktop, tablet, or mobile, using all major internet service providers.
How do I get started?
1. Register by creating your own username and password. We suggest registering through LinkedIn. It is the quickest and easiest way.
2. Follow the instructions step by step to add all of the relevant information to your profile.
3. Your membership will be activated within five working days.
4. Post a message to say hello and introduce yourself, upload photos, browse to find people you know, and invite other alumni to join.
What is my Program Start Year?
This is the year you participated on UCEAP. For example if you studied abroad for the year 2014/2015, your study abroad year is 2014.
What if I can’t find my country or partner university?
Please contact alumni@eap.ucop.edu if you can’t find your university listed.
