  • What are best practices for posting in the Exchange?

    To support productive, professional discussion:

    • Provide context (institution type, relevant policy constraints, audience).
    • Ask clear questions and note what you have already tried.
    • Share resources responsibly and avoid posting sensitive or personally identifiable information.
    • When referencing institutional policy or regulation, cite sources when possible.

  • How do I choose which communities to join?

    Start with communities aligned to your primary responsibilities, then add secondary areas where you want to build expertise. You can see a full list of communities on the All Communities page. You can update your community selections and communication preferences over time as your role evolves.

  • I am a member, but I cannot access the Exchange. What should I do?

    First, confirm that you are signed in with the correct email address and that your membership is active. If access issues persist, the most common causes are an outdated account email, multiple accounts, or an inactive membership record. Contact AACRAO for assistance with account or access troubleshooting.
