Auburn University People Finder Help

How to find someone in the Auburn University People Finder

  • If you know someone's name, use the "Search by Name" form on the left side. The People Finder locates all entries matching what you type in, so might be best to not to fill in all the blanks.
  • If you only know portions of someone's name (for example: a last name), then everyone with that last name will be found, and you can choose the person you're looking from the list. You can enter part of a name to bring up everyone whose name starts with what you entered. For someone with a common last name, type the last name and part or all of the first name.
  • If you know someone's User Name, use the "Search by User Name" form on the right side.
  • Students, faculty and staff are included in the Auburn University People Finder listings.

Why you might not find someone you expect

  • Personal information may be flagged as restricted (unlisted). Some students do not appear in the People Finder because of restriction flags in OASIS, even if they have never specifically requested their information to be withheld. Others prefer to be "unlisted" and have requested this. Students may request that restricted information be released or that listed information be restricted. To request a change in the release of personal information, students must contact the Registrar's Office (100 Mary Martin Hall; 334/844-4770; registrar@auburn.edu).
  • You might have misspelled or made a typo, try again. Consider alternate spellings. For instance, if you don't know whether someone is Smith or Smyth, then just type Sm in the last name field and choose from the list that comes up.
  • He/she is not a currently registered student or employee.
  • The person goes by a name other than his published name. If the last name isn't too common, try entering just the last name and then look through the listings for a first name similar to the one you're looking for.
  • You could have entered too much information, and part of it wasn't quite right. If you know the AU user name, don't type in the names. If either the first or last name is unusual and you're sure you know how to spell it, don't type the other name or the AU user name.

What "User Class" tells you

All employees are listed as Staff, whether they are faculty, administrative, professional or staff. The User Class for a student is the program of study and consists of classification (e.g., FR for freshman) and major (e.g., AGEN for agricultural engineering). Two separate listings appear for a student who is also employed by AU, one as Student and the other as Staff.

How to update your own listing

Students: Currently there is no way to update this information.

Staff: Address and telephone number are maintained within each department by the person who handles payroll. A legal name change is made by submitting an amended Personnel Action Form (PAF) along with a copy of the new Social Security card reflecting the name change to the Human Resources Office.

For Both: If you have a personal Web page on Mallard, then a clickable link to its URL appears in your People Finder listing.
