Alumni Membership Frequently Asked Questions


What does it mean to be an “active” member?

Membership is automatically bestowed on those who have attended or graduated from (LS)UNO. Active membership status applies to those members who have registered on the Online Directory. Active membership status is required to receive alumni benefits and to serve on the alumni board. Membership cards will be mailed once you have registered.

Why should I participate in Alumni Association activities?

Affiliation with the Alumni Association provides a lifelong connection to The University of New Orleans. Joining provides opportunities to mix, mingle and network with old friends and new acquaintances. The social aspect of membership can be very rewarding. Through our publications, you can be kept informed about issues and events relating to the University.

What if someone did not graduate from UNO?

We encourage all former students, whether they have graduated or not, to become active members of the Alumni Association.

I am a member, but my spouse has never attended UNO.Can she/he join anyway?

We welcome anyone who expresses an interest in The University of New Orleans. While the majority of our membership consists of UNO alumni, we have several members who have “adopted” UNO and support it as their own.

What sort of discounts do active alumni members receive?

Active UNO alumni receive discounts on the following: UNO Bookstore insignia merchandise, Health and Recreation Center membership, Music Department concerts, Drama Department productions and Intercollegiate Athletics events. Discounts also are available on various campus facility rentals, such as the University Center and the Homer L. Hitt Alumni and Visitors Center. Additionally, the Earl K. Long Library extends borrowing privileges to active alumni.

Does UNO host class reunions?

Because most students customize their academic pace to fit their unique needs, we find reunions based on class year are not effective at UNO. Our students often form friendships based on other criteria, such as major or participation in extra-curricular activities. If you and your associates would like to have a smaller reunion based upon some other criteria, the alumni staff would be happy to assist you.

I lost my diploma. Can I get a replacement?

Yes. You can order a new diploma by going to www.registrar.uno.edu.

Someone called my house the other day and asked if I’d like to contribute to the UNO Annual Fund. What is that?

The UNO Annual Fund, which is also called the UNO First Fund, is the annual giving program of The University of New Orleans and is a critical component of its fundraising campaign. Gifts to the UNO First Fund provides flexible resources that are used to meet the most immediate needs of the University like recruiting and retaining talented students, attracting and retaining outstanding faculty, securing the most up-to-date classroom technology, facilitating student and outreach programs, and adding campus enhancements. Although UNO is a public university, we are state-assisted rather than state supported, which means that every donated dollar is important to our success.

Gifts to the UNO First Fund help UNO meet priorities that cannot be funded by state and tuition support alone. The UNO First Fund runs from July 1 to June 30. Gifts may be made at one time or you may pay in installments, with the final installment due by June 30.

For questions or additional information regarding the UNO First Fund, please contact Elisabeth Bains at 504-280-3996.

I need an official copy of my transcript. Whom should I call?

You can order a transcript online by going to www.registrar.uno.edu..

I’d like to get involved with one of the committees. How do I do that?

You can fill out an online form on the Alumni Association web site. Go to Join a Committee. If you prefer, you can call the Alumni Association at 504-280-2586. A list and description of the committees can be found on the Join a Committee page.

How do I join an alumni chapter?

Chapter description and contact information can be found here. For information on how to join, contact the person listed. In most cases, there is no additional fee for active UNO International Alumni Association members to join a chapter. We also welcome the formation of new chapters. Please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs for further information.

Where can I buy alumni merchandise?

Come visit the gift shop in the Homer L. Hitt Alumni and Visitors Center or call us at 280-2586 (ALUM). Buy your favorite alumnus/a a golf shirt or long sleeve denim shirt with the UNO alumni logo, which highlights the historic smokestack. We have UNO watches and canvas tote bags as well. Active alumni receive a 10% discount on all merchandise.
