Help with Orbund — student edition

How do I log in?

Go to the Orbund Einstein login page at server1.orbund.com. Enter your username and password, select Student from the role drop-down menu, and click Login. If you do not select the proper role for your account, the system will give you an authentication error.

I forgot my password. How do I recover it?

From the login page, click "forgot password" just below the Login button. You will be prompted for your email, and your password will be emailed to you.

I forgot my username. How do I recover it?

Email the Registrar, revkaren@uums.org, or Tech Help, revchase@uums.org, to receive an email with your username.

Where do I find class materials? My class looks blank or empty.

The Student Guide emailed with your acceptance letter gives general instructions for accessing class materials. Current class material is viewable only within the dates of the term — check the academic calendar for start and end dates. You can be enrolled in a class but unable to see the content until the first day of the term, and material stops being accessible after the last day.

Week 1 is all I can see, or a session disappeared.

Instructors can set the dates when each week's material is accessible. Some release material week by week; others open the entire term at once. Occasionally the start or end date of a session — or an item inside it, such as a discussion board — is set incorrectly, which is often why something disappears after being visible. If that seems to be the case, contact the instructor or Tech Help.

Why do I have no assignments listed?

Many instructors place the assignment with the session text rather than using the assignment feature of Orbund. Go to the session for each week and read it through to find the assignment and its due date.

How do I update my account and profile?

Log in and go to the Start Page (click "Start Page" at the top of the left-hand menu). Click Account & Profile under the General Information header on the right. Choose the General Info, Emergency Contact, or Acceptance Document tab, enter your changes, and click Save at the bottom of the screen — scroll down or reduce the view if you need to. Photos must be 300 KB or less.
