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.
What about UCLA ONE? How is it different from The Community?
UCLA’s online community UCLA ONE is for all UCLA alumni. It is not affiliated with The Community, which is developed exclusively for Anderson alumni and is managed by Anderson’s Office of Alumni Relations.
If you have an existing UCLA ONE login credentials, you can use that to login to The Community!
