Submitting An Event | Alumni Association of the University of Michigan                       

Clubs should publish all upcoming events on the Association's main event calendar. For all events requiring pre-registration, clubs are strongly encouraged to utilize the Association's registration and credit card processing system. To submit an event to the AAUM and Club's event calendar and request online registration, club leaders must complete the Association's online event submission form. (Please note, logging in requires a U-M uniqname and password).

Event Registration & Payments

All club events requiring pre-registration (including free events) should utilize the Association's registration and credit card processing system. Please allow the Association up to five business days to process your request.

Advantages of online event registration

There are several advantages to utilizing this system due to its synchronization with the Association's database:

• It verifies whether registrants are members of the Association and charges them accordingly. By providing members with certain benefits (e.g., free or discounted tickets; advance registration; a member-only event), your club can easily and clearly emphasize the value of Association membership.
• It pre-populates the registrant's contact information that is on file with the Association
• It allows the Association to track alumni engagement (including a history of attendees at your club's events), and a follow-up email is automatically sent by the Association to event registrants.

Other Important Facts

• To register for an event online, alumni (and non-alumni) may register as a guest or to log in with a U-M uniqname and password.  Alumni may also now set up logging in with their social media accounts.  The Association's alumni relations team can also process registrations over the phone (800.847.4764, M-F, 9am-5pm ET) for persons who are uncomfortable registering online or experience difficulties when attempting to do so. In order for a member to receive a member discount, they must log in with a U-M uniqname and password
• While event registration is open, designated club leaders who have certified they will comply with the Association's policy regarding alumni data can track the number and identity of registrants.  Only club leaders who have completed Data Access & Compliance form may handle alumni data provided via this system. Club leaders will be asked to review and sign this form on a yearly basis. 
• Approximately two weeks after an event, the Association will directly deposit the amount of all transactions processed minus a 2% processing fee assessed by the credit card company (which the Association passes on to the club).
• If you have someone that needs to be cancelled, let Cindy ([email protected]) know and we will refund the participant.  We will not cancel anyone unless the cancellation is verified by the club. 
• Clubs will occasionally offer registrants the ability to pay by check. The Association will not process these checks.
• Once the club receives the proceeds collected for an event from the Association, it is the responsibility of the club (not the Association) to deal with credit card disputes or claims made by event participants.
