2. Once I’m in my CAUCUS Conference, what other information can I add?
We suggest you add the following information: Email address, Home page URL, telephone number and a short description of yourself.  You can also go into your Personal Information Page at any time and make changes including uploading a picture of yourself.

3. I had trouble getting in to CAUCUS and I received the error message: Authorization Failed - Retry? What did I do wrong?
Make sure your 'CAPS lock' key is off. Your username and password should be in lower-case, not capital letters. Use your tab key or mouse to go to the password box (pressing the enter/return key will give you an error message). Use your username - not your entire email address.

This should work, but if it doesn’t, please email the CAUCUS administrator at: nobody@caucus.arizona.edu.

4. How do I find new conferences and subscribe to them?
Once you have logged in, find the conference that you wish to join and either click on the link of that conference or type in the name of the conference in the box, and then press the join button.

Look at the bottom of the screen - you can click on ignore or forget. This will let you read all the other items, but will ignore this particular item.
