MyCruiser is a feature of Campus Cruiser 3.3 that acts as a short-cut portal. It contains quick links to all specific modules that pertain to you. You'll receive notification of new unread E-mail. Your classes, clubs, appointments and tasks for the day are listed, as well as a mini-calendar of the current month for your convenience. Information pertaining to your classes and clubs can also be displayed in different column settings that you specify. Clicking on any link or icon in MyCruiser will bring you directly to the item's detailed information. MyCruiser is also customizable; you can elect to have shortcuts to your modules displayed in full detail, without detail, or remove the module from the MyCruiser display entirely. MyCruiser is accessible at all times by clicking on the MyCruiser icon, located in the Global Bar.

You can customize the MyCruiser section to your liking. In MyCruiser, you can select which shortcuts to your personal features are displayed, as well as the sequence in which they occur.

Please remember to log out and / or close the browser window after you finish your Campus Cruiser session. This will prevent other people from accessing your personal information. On the far left in the black Global Bar at the top that spans the page, click on the Log Out button.

You can access your Campus Cruiser 's User Directory by clicking the Campus Life First-level Tab, and then clicking the Directory Second-level Tab. When you access the directory, you can search for members by one or more of the following methods:

• by Division

You can also have the User Directory list all Campus Cruiser users. Once users are listed, you can send E-mail messages to selected users. If any users have created Personal Web Pages, or Personal Photo Albums for public viewing, then the User Directory will provide icons which will allow you to view them.

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, students may “opt out” of campus directories by filing a Non Disclosure form (add link to FERPA form)

The main difference among these groups is the members within them and their roles within your campus community. Clubs/Activities are intended for extracurricular or recreational groups; Offices are intended for members of different offices in your campus; Committees are intended for members who chair any committees in your campus community. However, each of these groups have the same Campus Cruiser features, which are specifically for use by the group's members:

Certain groups and organizations in CampusCruiser will allow non-members to either join the group, or subscribe to the group. When you attempt to join a group, you are essentially asking the host of the group if you can participate in the group with full membership privileges. When you subscribe to a group, you are allowed to view some information about the group, but do not have full membership privileges. Subscribing to a group does not require the group host's permission. You may subscribe to different classes in CampusCruiser, but class members can only be added by the instructor of the class, CampusCruiser Administrators, or data feeds.

To join a Club in your campus, do the following:

1. Click on the Campus Life First-Level Tab and then the Clubs/Activities Second-Level Tab.
2. Click on the "All Clubs" menu option from the left to display a list of all Club categories.
3. Click on any category to see a list of its subcategories and Clubs. Clubs will be listed in a table.
4. Click on any Club name from the table to access the Welcome page of the Club.
5. In the Welcome page of the Club, click on the Join - club name - option. This will bring up an online form which you can fill out and request enrollment as a member.
6. Fill out the form and click the Submit Request button in the form. Your form will be sent to the Club Administrator, who will then decide if you can join the Club.
