- Select the Group, then click the Ask to Join button
- There will be questions to answer, This pop up screen will ask why you want to join, and how often you would like notices from the board. (it is easier to select this now, but it can be changed later) You MUST give a reason. You could say “I am a member of SUNY Poly UUP”
- I will approve all requests that state that you are a member. “But if members do not state that they are a member, then it may take longer to confirm.”
- Now members can post and give updates.
