Getting Started for New Members

Getting Started with Raftr

If you're here, you probably just received word that your campus or organization is launching a Raftr community. That's great news for your app fatigue—Raftr is the community-building platform you've been waiting for. 

Benefits and Features

With Raftr, you can meet new friends, connect with peers, keep track of events and deadlines, and get one-tap access to resources all in one place. Our members tell us that email is old-fashioned, stressful, or not that useful, which is why we're a mobile-first platform that gives you everything you need (including announcements) directly on your device. Love group chats? Join or create groups with people in your community in a couple of easy steps (no contact info necessary). Hate ads and spam? We do too. 

Creating Your Account

There are several ways to create your account in Raftr. Since each community is authenticated, you will need to register using one of the following secure registration methods determined by your community administrators.

• Email domain-based registration
• Registration code
• Single-Sign On (SSO) verification
• Admin-created accounts
