Why do I have to manually input so much personal information? Doesn’t CCES already have this information on file?
While CCES does have some information on most alumni, Cavs Connect will serve as an easy way for alumni to update their information, so we wanted to be sure to give users the opportunity to do it from the start.Many alumni will find that their basic biographic data and class information has already been loaded into Cavs Connect. As we continue our rollout and expansion of the platform, we intend to sync additional information with our database of record.Due to limitations with the system, we are currently only able to preload this information for one email address per user. We have selected the preferred email address you have on file with CCES. If you register with a different email address this data will not already be applied to your account and you may experience a delay of up to 3 days for manual account approval. -
What do the different affiliations mean?
Affiliation is another word for user type. The current affiliation options are:- Alumna/us: select if you are a CCES alumna/us
- Faculty/Staff: select if you are a faculty or staff member at CCES

Why isn’t my friend or classmate isn’t showing up in the directory?
We have pre-loaded most CCES alumni into the Cavs Connect directory. Currently, we have not pre-loaded faculty, staff, students or friends.Please note, some alumni are unable to be pre-loaded due any of the following reasons and will not appear in the directory:- Alumni for whom CCES does not have a valid email address on file
- Alumni who share a single email address with another alumnus/a spouse or family member
- Recent graduates (there can be a delay before new alumni are loaded into or updated in the database of record)
If you don’t see the name you’re looking for and would like to confirm the reason they are not in the directory, please email dalkine@cces.org.
