  • Groups that are unable to obtain an approved registration by their deadline are set to automatically disaffiliate on the platform - meaning they are unable to process events, manage members, hold elections, etcetera.
  • If this has happened to your group, you can be reaffiliated by submitting and obtaining an approved registration. If you need further instruction, email clubs@uasu.ca with a detailed explanation of the situation.

I can't find a student group or event on the Rubric search page.

If you still cannot find a specific student group or event on the database, this is because the group is not currently affiliated, or the event has not been approved yet. Only affiliated groups and approved events will show up in the public version of the database.

I missed my group's registration deadline! What happens to our Rubric account?

If a group has not submitted your registration, or a registration is not approved by the group's affiliation deadline, the group will be frozen, AKA disaffiliated. A group that is not affiliated is unable to submit events, manage members, hold elections, etc. If this has happened to your group, you can be reaffiliated by submitting and receiving approval of their registration. 

What does it mean when my group is affiliated or disaffiliated on Rubric?

Rubric's terminology differs from our old platform - but the concepts are quite similar! Here's a breakdown of some terms you may encounter, and what they mean.

I don't have access to my club's email! How do I get into my club's Rubric account?

Groups that cannot access their club email inbox will need to have their Rubric account email changed by Student Group Services. The group's President can reach out to clubs@uasu.ca to request this change so they can access the account, submit registration, and receive email updates about the status of their submission. Rubric account emails must be switched back to a club email after registration is approved. 

Please note that if your group's CCID email address has expired, you will not be able to renew it until your registration is approved. For more information, check out this resource page. If your group email is not a group CCID email, Student Group Services cannot help recover the account.

I can't edit the name of (or delete) certain positions on Rubric.

  • Rubric has four defaultdefault positions: President, Secretary, Vice President, and Treasurer. These positions cannot be deleted or have their names removed. 

    • These roles cancan, however, have their permissions altered, and can remain unassigned.
      • unassigned. 
  • If you have no use for these roles (i.e. they are not listed in your constitution) keep them unassigned and they will not show up on your executive roster.
I made my own group account for my club, but I don't have access to Rubric's features.
  • Student Group Services requests that you do not create your own group account unless you are proceeding as a new/reactivated group. 
  • If you have made your own group account (as a re-registering student group) please reach out to clubs@uasu.ca for further assistance.

I am a group executive, and I cannot access features on my club management page.

      1. Are you logging into the student portal, and switching to the club management page?
