Join the association.
Create an account, confirm the email address you used, and give the association the details it needs to verify you as an RIT graduate. All three steps are on this page, and each one reports its real state rather than a hopeful one.
Confirm the email address you used
A one-time code is how the association makes sure a working mailbox sits behind every account before it sends verification correspondence or event reminders to it.
A six-digit code is emailed to the address you give and is valid for ten minutes. Only a hash of it is stored on the server, so the code cannot be read back out of the database.
- What a confirmed code proves
- That you can read mail sent to that address. Nothing more.
- What it does not do
- It does not sign you in. The better-auth server on this deployment has no OTP sign-in plugin configured, so a session still comes from your password or a social provider. Anything else on this page would be a lie about how you got in.
- How it is stored
- Only a SHA-256 hash of the code, salted with your address, ever reaches the database. Requesting a new code deletes the previous one, and a used code cannot be replayed.
Prove you studied here
This is the authenticity gate for the whole portal. Nobody can approve their own request — the review mutation is internal to the server and runs from the association's console, not from a browser.
The directory is only worth using if everyone in it genuinely studied at RIT. The association matches the batch, department and roll number below against college records before your profile becomes visible to other members. That is a manual check by a person in the office, not an instant one — expect a few working days.
Nothing to show yet
File the request on the left, or type the address you applied with above. The status updates here by itself the moment the office reviews it.
Alumni, Entrepreneurs, Admins, Guests
What you see after signing in depends on the role the server resolves for your email address. Anyone unknown is a guest, because defaulting to the least privileged role is the only safe default.
Alumni
Full directory, careers, mentorship, events and giving.
Entrepreneurs
Everything alumni get, plus the RACE zone and venture profile.
Admins
Member management, moderation, analytics and reports.
Guests
Public pages only — stories, events and giving.
Resolving…
Asking the server which role applies to this visitor.
| Area of the portal | Alumni | Entrepreneurs | Admins | Guests |

Where this stands today: roles resolve on the server, approval of a verification request is an internal-only mutation, and the directory already enforces per-field visibility server-side so a hidden phone number is never sent to the browser. Route-level gating — the part that keeps a guest out of the admin panel — is the model above and is not enforced in code yet. It must be in place before the portal opens publicly.
What happens on the association's side
- 01
The request reaches the office
Your name, batch, department, roll number and graduation year are stored as a pending request the secretary can see.
- 02
Records are checked by hand
The details are matched against the institute's graduation records. A mismatch is queried by email, not rejected silently — approval is an internal-only mutation, so nothing about it can be self-served from a browser.
- 03
Your role changes with it
Approval grants the alumni role, flips your directory listing to verified, and opens the directory, career hub and mentorship network.
