Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

Is UniConnectly free for students?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Discovering events and communities, applying, using your QR entry pass and receiving your certificate of attendance are all free. We are not planning a paid student membership.

Question 2

How do I find events and communities?

Accepted Answer

Once you select your university, the feed adapts to you. Filter by category, city or date, or search for a topic, community or department. Follow the communities you care about and their announcements appear in your feed.

Question 3

How do I apply to an event, and what happens at the door?

Accepted Answer

You apply from the event page. A QR entry pass is created on your phone the moment your application is registered; at the door a staff member scans it and records your attendance. The pass is personal and shows your name, so staff can match you from the list even if the QR fails to scan.

Question 4

Where is my QR entry pass?

Accepted Answer

Under Applications, on the card of that event. We also send you a notification when check-in opens. Note: the personal QR code on your profile is a different thing — it introduces you and is not scanned at the door.

Question 5

Where do my attendance records and certificates appear?

Accepted Answer

In your digital portfolio. Events you attended, community experience and certificates of attendance are collected in one place, so you can present your campus record as a whole in internship and job applications.

Question 6

Why am I asked to verify my university email?

Accepted Answer

Verification proves that you are a student and which campus you belong to. It is required for actions such as registering a community, and it keeps campus-specific flows open to that campus's own students. Verification is one-off: you enter a short code.

Question 7

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Use "Forgot password" on the sign-in screen. We send a six-digit code to your email; you enter it in the app and set a new password. The code is valid for a few minutes and can be requested again.

Question 8

What can I see without signing in?

Accepted Answer

You can browse events and communities as a guest. Applying, following, saving, reacting and creating a profile require an account, because each of those creates a record that belongs to you.

Question 9

How do I manage notifications?

Accepted Answer

In notification preferences you can turn each type on or off separately: event updates, session reminders, application status, reactions to your posts and general announcements. Security notifications cannot be turned off, as they concern the safety of your account.

Question 10

If I save a post, does the author see that?

Accepted Answer

Not by name. Saving is your own archive; the author only receives an anonymous count of how many people saved it. Likes are different: when you like something, the author is notified with your name. Dislikes are never reported.

Question 11

Can companies access my personal data?

Accepted Answer

No. Companies cannot list, search or contact students individually. Contact is always established through an event, a community or an application you made, and with your consent.

Question 12

What kinds of events can I find?

Accepted Answer

Training and workshops, conferences, panels and talks, career events, hackathons and competitions, festivals, fairs and booths, technical visits and social events. Each is a separate filter.

Question 13

How are my data and cookies handled?

Accepted Answer

Only the cookies required to run the site are used; usage analytics are optional and we do not use marketing cookies. What we collect is stated plainly in our privacy notice — our principle is not to collect data we do not need.

Question 14

What happens if I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

You can follow Profile > Delete My Account in the app, or email info@uniconnectly.com from your registered address with the subject "Account Deletion Request". Deletion cannot be undone; your attendance history and certificates are removed as well.

Question 15

How do I register my community?

Accepted Answer

With your student account, go to Quick Menu > Create Community. Your student profile must be complete (full name, university, faculty, department, class year and date of birth), and a community can only be created for your own university. If a field is missing we tell you at the start of the form.

Question 16

Why is my registration pending approval?

Accepted Answer

New communities are reviewed before going live, so that communities which do not exist on campus or were created without authority are not presented to students as real. The review checks the accuracy of the information and the community's link to the campus.

Question 17

How do publishing events and collecting applications work?

Accepted Answer

You publish an event with category, date, location and capacity. Applications collect in your panel, where you can approve, waitlist or decline them. Every event always has at least one attendance session.

Question 18

How is check-in done with QR at the door?

Accepted Answer

On the day you open check-in and registered attendees are notified. A staff member scans the attendee's QR pass to record entry. If the wrong person was scanned you can undo it — that only removes the check-in record; the person's application and pass remain.

Question 19

Can I scan my own pass as staff?

Accepted Answer

No. Nobody can scan their own pass, including organisers. The rule is enforced on the server and preserves accountability at the door: entry is always recorded by someone else.

Question 20

How many people saw my announcement?

Accepted Answer

You can see the view count. Swiping up on your own post opens the list of viewers — that list is shown only to the author, and users who turned off visibility appear without a name.

Question 21

Can I issue certificates to members?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Students whose attendance was recorded via QR can be issued a certificate of attendance, and it is written into the student's digital portfolio, so the document is not lost and stays verifiable.

Question 22

Does sponsorship money go through UniConnectly?

Accepted Answer

No. The platform does not process any payment, take commission or store amounts. Sponsorship is agreed directly between the community and the company; we only help the parties find each other and keep the process trackable.

Question 23

How do we communicate with companies?

Accepted Answer

Companies see your community profile and events and can message you for collaboration. The conversation runs directly with you. Student data is not part of these conversations — companies can only reach students in the context of events and communities.

Question 24

What should a community profile contain?

Accepted Answer

Community name, university, category, a short description, a contact channel and areas of activity — plus a logo, which is the first thing a student looks at. The clearer the information, the smoother applications and sponsorship go.

Question 25

How do I manage the board and staff?

Accepted Answer

You invite board members and event staff from the panel. Staff can only scan at the session they are assigned to; full management authority stays with the board. When duties are transferred, the previous person's access ends.

Question 26

How is handover done at the end of term?

Accepted Answer

You transfer management to the new team from the panel; community history, events and member records stay in place. That way each term does not start from scratch and the community's institutional memory is preserved.

Question 27

What happens if I delete an event?

Accepted Answer

The last session of an event that has registered attendees cannot be deleted — otherwise students who applied would be left in limbo. If you want to remove the event, informing attendees first is the right step.

Question 28

What if content breaks community rules?

Accepted Answer

Every piece of content can be reported and reports reach the moderation team. Communities are expected to publish accurate information, use licensed visuals and respect attendee data; content that fails this can be taken down.

Question 29

What does this cost us?

Accepted Answer

It's free for communities. Event management, QR check-in, announcements, member management, certificates and reports are all open at no charge. We take neither dues nor commission from your club.

Question 30

Do we need approval from our university or student affairs office?

Accepted Answer

No formal permission is required to be on UniConnectly; you register yourselves. That said, your university's own rules still apply when you run events — we don't replace those processes, we sit alongside them.

Question 31

Does sponsorship money flow through the platform?

Accepted Answer

No. Money never passes through UniConnectly at any stage. We introduce you to companies and make the conversation easier; you agree terms and handle payment directly between yourselves. We take no commission and act as no intermediary.

Question 32

What happens to our members' data — do you keep it?

Accepted Answer

Your members own their accounts and control their own data. As a community you only see attendance and contact details tied to your own events. We don't sell student lists to third parties and we don't hand names to sponsors — companies receive aggregate, anonymous numbers only.

Question 33

We're a small club. Does this still make sense for us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The system does the same job for a 15-person club as for a 1,500-member community: announce the event, know who showed up, certify those who attended. For smaller communities the real gain is visibility — students on campus can actually discover you.

Question 34

What can we do with a company account?

Accepted Answer

Review campus events and communities, contact communities directly for collaboration, publish job and internship listings and run a campus ambassador programme. You can also share announcements in students' feeds.

Question 35

Can we access students' personal data?

Accepted Answer

No. Students are not listed, searched or shared as individuals. Campus data is provided only in aggregate. Contact with a student is established only where there is an application or explicit consent — this is a principle we do not negotiate.

Question 36

How do we reach the right audience?

Accepted Answer

You target by university, city, event type and community category. The aim is not to reach everyone but to be visible in the relevant campus context: sponsoring a hackathon naturally reaches students interested in that field.

Question 37

How does sponsorship work — does payment go through the platform?

Accepted Answer

Payment does not go through the platform. UniConnectly does not process any amount or take commission. You agree directly with the community; the platform brings the parties together and keeps the process trackable.

Question 38

Can we publish job and internship listings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can publish listings and show them in the feeds of relevant students. The listing detail page can direct candidates to your application flow.

Question 39

What is the campus ambassador programme?

Accepted Answer

A programme run with students who represent your brand on campus. You can collect applications, manage ambassadors and track assignments. It is the most direct way to build a continuous, genuine presence on campus.

Question 40

Can we measure the impact of our announcements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can see how many times an announcement was viewed and how many people saved it. Saving is anonymous; who saved it is never shared. When you receive a like, you are notified.

Question 41

How should we build brand visibility?

Accepted Answer

Direct advertising language does not land on campus. Visibility built through contribution — event sponsorship, speaker sessions, workshops and community collaboration — is both more durable and more credible.

Question 42

Why is our company account verified?

Accepted Answer

Company profiles are reviewed so students can be sure the brand in front of them really is that company. The verification badge builds trust on the student side and prevents fake company profiles.

Question 43

Which universities are you present in?

Accepted Answer

Our target is Türkiye's university ecosystem; our reference dataset covers 235 universities with their faculty and department structure. Active community and event density varies from campus to campus.

Question 44

Can we request a demo or more information?

Accepted Answer

Yes, through the contact page. Sharing your organisation type, the university or community area you are targeting and the outcome you expect makes the conversation far more productive.

Question 45

Where can we find press and brand materials?

Accepted Answer

The media kit page contains the logo, colours and usage rules. For press enquiries you can reach the team from the contact page.

Question 46

What kind of feedback do we get after an event?

Accepted Answer

The community can share attendance and reach information after the event. Because attendance is recorded via QR, the numbers rest on real check-ins at the door rather than on estimates.

Question 47

Where are the contracts and legal texts?

Accepted Answer

The terms of service, privacy policy, data protection notice and cookie policy are published in the legal section of the website. When texts change, a version record is kept.
