On Track
What is On Track?
On Track is a co-curricular experience designed to enhance student development beyond the classroom setting, encourage
students to network socially among peers, and to include students in traditional and signature university events. Each
semester, a map of events and activities will be available to students categorized by interests.

Completion
A student completes a track by fulfilling three (3) options offered as part of the track in any given semester. Most tracks will
have over six (6) opportunities for fulfillment each semester. A student will have the most well-rounded experience by
choosing different tracks to participate in each semester; however, criteria for each track does change every semester, so a
student can get licensed in the same track more than once.

get Licensed
In order for a student to participate in the On Track co-curricular experience, they will need to get licensed. Before getting
licensed, it is important for the student to view the Road Map and decide which track(s) they want to complete during that
semester. A student must get licensed each semester to participate. There are no limits, therefore a student may get
licensed for as many tracks as they wish each semester. Get Licensed on GOLD Cabinet’s page on theLink under Forms.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How do I enroll?
        We call it Get Licensed. To Get Licensed, you will need to go to thelink.atu.edu and Sign In with your OneTech
        username and password. Click on the Get Licensed link in the yellow alert box on the home page, and complete the form.
2. What does it mean if more than one event is listed under one main event (for example, football games)?
        If there are multiple events listed under one main event, this means attending only one event will count towards your credit.
        You may attend all events, if you like, however, you will only receive one credit towards your three events to complete your track.
3. How do I answer reflection questions?
        Scroll down on your homepage on theLink. You will see a section that says Paths. Click on the path you are trying
        to complete. The progress for this track will be displayed. Click the gray bar with the name of your track to expand the
        information. The options to fulfill the track requirements are listed. Answer any reflection questions for the event(s) you have
        attended. Events requiring reflection questions will have an orange exclamation point. Click on the icon. Click on Additional
        Information Required. Answer the question and click Submit. The item will now have a green check mark.
4. How do I get to the post test?
        To answer the post test, you will locate the item that says Track Name-Post Test- Current Semester on your Paths page. Click
        on the item that is marked Required. A link to a form will be displayed. Complete the form. This information will be processed
        by Campus Life, and credit will be issued within three (3) business days.
5. How do I see my progress?
        Go to thelink.atu.edu and click Sign In. Sign in with your OneTech username and password. Look at the Paths
        section in the lower right of the home page. Click on the path you are trying to complete. You are now on your Paths page.

6. Can I print off my On Track Progress Report (path report)?
        You can print or email your On Track Progress Report (path report) by clicking Print View on your Paths page.
7. I attended several events at the beginning of the semester before I knew about On Track. Can those events
  count towards track completion?
        Yes! theLink allows for event attendance to be retroactively added to a student’s account. You have to get
        licensed and theLink will sync your account with past event attendance. This is only available on a semester basis. For example,
        a student attends events in the fall semester, and tries to get licensed for the previous fall semester in the spring semester. This
        does not work.
8. I attended an event, and it isn’t showing up on my Paths page on theLink. How do I get credit?
        Contact Campus Life. Sometimes life happens, and the staff member hasn’t updated their attendance yet or staff swiping at the
        event made a mistake. The Campus Life staff can adjust attendance as needed.
9. I attended an event, and I wasn’t able to swipe my ID. How do I get credit?
        Contact Campus Life. The Campus Life staff can adjust attendance as needed. If you attended an event and you aren’t able to
        swipe your ID at the event, take a picture of yourself at the event and send it to us. It’s a quick and easy way to verify your
        attendance.

        Applications for the On Track Trip can be found on GOLD Cabinet’s page on theLink, under Forms.
