I forgot my username. How do I recover my username?
Email the Registrar, re******@**ms.org, or Tech Hel,p re******@**ms.org to receive an email with your username.
Where do I find class materials? My class is blank, empty, or has disappeared. I only see the syllabus or Week 1 class materials.
The Student Guide emailed with your acceptance letter provides general instructions on accessing class materials. Current class material is accessible or viewable only within the dates of the term. See the academic calendar found on UUMS.org to verify start and end dates of the term. You can be enrolled in a class but not be able to see the content until the first day of the term. Material stops being accessible after the last day of the term.
Instructors can set the dates when a session, the material for each week are accessible to students. Some may present class material session by session, week by week. Others might allow students access to the entire term at the beginning. Instructors can also set the date by which the material is no longer available. Most set this date to the end of the term.
Occasionally, the start and end date of a session or the items within a session, i.e., the discussion board, are incorrect. This is often the reason an item disappears once it was visible. If this appears to be the situation, contact the instructor or Tech Help.
Why do I have no assignments listed?
Many instructors place the assignment with the session text. They choose not to use the assignment feature of Orbund. Go to the session for each week, read it through to locate the assignment(s) and their due date.

Hints:
Backup your work
At least once a term, I receive a request to retrieve a response a student posted in a discussion forum. This functionality does not exist in Orbund. Once a response is deleted it is gone. This is true even if a system glitch is the reason behind your response ‘disappearing’. Experienced student know to keep a copy of their work so they can repost it. Reposting may be necessary if the instructor has not reviewed your work.
Cut and paste instructions into the post
Highlight the text with a click and drag, control c, then paste control v into your document.
Why did I receive Error Code Forbidden 403?
Orbund has a character (not a word) limit of 3000 on discussion posts. Break the response into multiple posts as a workaround.
How do I view my unofficial transcript?
After logging into Orbund, click Reports & Transcripts from right-hand menu to see the options under it. Select the submenu option of Graduation Requirements. Now, a left-hand menu has the option of Transcript. Select it. Your unofficial UUMS Transcript is displayed. Scroll through it to view what classes you have taken when and the grade received.
