Who can access The Community?
Anderson alumni who have completed a degree or certificate program from the UCLA Anderson School can participate in The Community.

Anderson students do not have access currently, but they are part of our roadmap. The complex data environment meant that we had to limit our scope to existing Anderson alumni in our first launch.

Security
What is multi-factor authentication, and do I need it?
This is an optional step, but it is recommended for all users.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) offers extra protection for your UCLA Logon account. With MFA enabled, you will take an extra step to confirm your identity when logging in. This extra step prevents a hacker from accessing your account using a stolen password.
UCLA uses the DUO application for multi-factor authentication, and you can authenticate your login with its mobile app. You can find detailed setup instructions here: https://ucla.service-now.com/support?id=kb_article&sys_id=KB0012931
Is my information secure on the The Community?
Review UCLA’s Privacy Policy for more information https://www.ucla.edu/terms-of-use
Miscellaneous
Will current Anderson alumni social media groups remain accessible?
Our current plan is to continue to support currently active and future LinkedIn and Facebook Groups. Since The Community is a private community for Anderson alumni, access will not be available for external people.
If your group is meant exclusively for Anderson Alumni and you would like to move your group to the Alumni Community, we will be glad to guide and support you through the process.
