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

There are two search queries on Rubric: Events and Societies. First, you will need to ensure the location and University are properly selected (Alberta, Canada and the University of Alberta). To ensure you are on the right database, refer to the top of the filter on the left-side of the screen (red circle). If you want to switch between databases, refer to the navigation bar at the top of the screen (blue rectangle).

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.
