This site was created to connect and re-connect with our classmates (even those who will not be attending the reunions). Our next goal is to make this site a scrapbook of memories for all classmates and their families. Our site is private!

Everything you need to know about setting up a profile to gain access to the rest of our page is on this page. If you have questions or problems, here's an idea:  START WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  THEN ASK!  What's the point of going to college if you can't figure things out, anyway?

All contact information (address, phone number, e-mail address) that you enter into this website will be kept confidential. The host of this web site, ClassCreator.com, is a locally-owned business. They understand the importance of your privacy. Your personal information will never be sold to other sites. It will not be shared or distributed.

Your contact information is private; your street address, e-mail address, and phone number cannot be seen by classmates. Each classmate has the ability to limit the visibility of his or her profile to only fellow classmates by clicking on the appropriate answer in the Profile Visibility section during profile setup. If you do not opt for privacy on this line your profile can be viewed by non members such as your friends or family, but also note your profile will be fully indexable by major search engines.

Finding your class web site Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines:

• If you are signed on to the site and restricted your profile to only fellow classmates, and then use a search engine to see if the privacy options above are working, it will appear they are NOT. This is only because you are signed into the site. Sign out and check again. You will see that none of your profile information is viewable by non-members.

Emails may be shared within this site using the contact option at the top of each classmate's profile page (just look under the classmate's main photo in the upper left). This way you will be able to contact classmates without sharing your private email address, unless you choose to do so.

All class email news sent from us to you via this web site: For those of you with spam blocking or email filtering capabilities, please add noreply@classcreator.net to your email account as a safe sender in order to ensure you receive email communications from us.

Please note that if you do not want your name and picture on this site it may be removed by contacting Nicole Clewer, Site Administrator. This will end all communications to you from the Beloit College Class of 1969, unless you ask that special arrangements be made.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!  We want to see you, you handsome dudes and stunning beauties!  (Or was it stunning dudes and handsome beauties?) In order to access the pages that are password protected on this site, you must set up a profile by providing a minimum of your email address, and a password.

To set up your profile: Click Classmates Profiles (tab at top). Find your name on the list. Click it. Follow the 4-Step Wizard prompts.

Private information like your email address, home address, and phone numbers will not be visible to fellow classmates. We collect mailing addresses in the event that we need to contact you by snail mail or phone. Your information will never be given to other classmates without your permission.

We encourage you to add a current picture to your profile as a master photo. This photo will be displayed in various areas around the site. It's also helpful to upload an additional "Now" photo, and a "Then" photo. Even if you don't like the way you look now, lighten up!  Classmates will enjoy seeing how you've changed! After all, we're all heading the same direction, aren't we?

If your name is not already on the site, but you were part of the Beloit College Class of 1969, contact us and your name will be added.

Updates: If you change your email address, snail mail address, or phone number, please update your Contact Info so we have up to date information. That way you'll always be in the know about what your classmates are doing!

Passwords:

Choosing a password: Passwords do not need to be the high security style recommended for some sites. Choose something simple that you can easily remember. Clicking the "Remember Me" will allow you to bypass entering the password each time you visit, but eventually the "Remember Me" may fail (for instance when you get a new computer). Please make note of your password!

If you forget your password simply click on "forgot password". If you have several email accounts, and you don't remember the one you used to set-up your account, contact Nicole Clewer, Site Administrator. This could take a while so please be patient. Or Be Beloit.  You know what that means...

The wonderful part about this site is that it came pre-setup. We just had to enter classmates' names. The site assembles a missing list for us, based solely on the names of people who don't have profiles; so until you have a profile, the site will consider you "missing."

Also, please note: We need your help to contact EVERY classmate. If you have information about any classmate, listed or not listed, please contact Nicole Clewer, Site Administrator.

Say "Hi, there!" To contact a fellow classmate, you may simply use the "send a private message" email option on each Classmate's Profile page (located under Master Photo). This feature allows open communication between Classmates, while protecting your personal information. If you wish to share your email address or other personal information within a message written on our site, the site will not block you from doing so.
