UROnline Alumni Directory 

Once you’ve graduated, we encourage members of each graduating class to create your profile on the University of Richmond alumni directory portal, UROnline. Creating a profile includes you in the SPCS Alumni Directory, where you can hide or make visible any information you’d like.

UROnline is how we stay connected to you, and how you can stay connected with your classmates and fellow graduates. We hope that you’ll keep your email address up-to-date to recieve updates from us. And it’s easy to activate your “email for life” after graduating — visit the Alumni SSO Portal to activate and manage your UR email address.
