Starting this summer, we’re using the Wildcat for Life platform for Homecoming event pages and virtual event check-in. The process will largely remain the same, but here are the updates to this year’s process:
Check-in Kiosk
- There will be a check-in kiosk feature offered this year. It simplifies the guest check-in process. On check-in day, guests can scan a QR code to check into their event.
- An information session will be hosted on Thursday, August 14, 2025.
- To use the check-in kiosk, you will be required to watch a training video and acknowledge a security policy, more information to come in September.
- We will host 2 Q&A sessions - one in the first week of October and one in the last week of October. Exact dates TBD.
Confirmation and Reminder Emails
- Confirmation emails will be sent automatically to the event registrant with the details of their registration.
- This year, there will be an option to send registrants an automatic email reminder the day before the event. You can opt-in to this feature when submitting your event Homecoming event registration form.
Registration Form Close Date
- Registrations will not have to mandatorily close before the event. If you would like to take registrations at the door, please provide that information on the Homecoming event registration form.
- Please note that there will still be a 24-48 hour delay for the registrants to appear in Lynx, with adjustments made for business hours and weekends.
Questions or Updates
- If you have a registered event and have any questions or need updates to your events registration webpage, please contact wildcatforlife@uafoundation.org.
