FAQ & Help

Answers to the questions I get most. If yours isn't here, scroll down and ask me directly.

General
How do I pronounce SCHEDA?

“SKAY-dah.” You're not the first to ask.

Do I need an account?

Nope. Everything is tracked by the email you enter, which is how My Schedule finds your stuff. Volunteering has a quick one-time sign-up (email + a 4-digit PIN) so you can claim shifts and vouch for others.

Who made this?

Hi, I'm Rayhana. I built SCHEDA to make event scheduling less of a headache for everyone. I used AI tools while writing the code, but every design and administrative decision is mine. Using the site doesn't involve any AI processing of your data or interactions.

Privacy
Is my data private?

Yes. Your email is stored securely and never shown publicly. Only your SCA name appears on rosters. If you'd rather not appear at all, choose to hide your name at registration and you'll show as “Anonymous attendee.” You still hold your spot and still get all your confirmation emails.

Classes & Registration
How do I sign up for a class?

Find it in the catalog, click Register, and enter your SCA name and email. That's it.

Can I register anonymously?

Yes! Check the anonymous option when registering. You'll show on the roster as “Anonymous attendee” but still get your confirmation email.

What if a class is full?

Join the waitlist. If a spot opens up, you'll get an email.

Can I cancel my registration?

Yes. Open My Schedule, enter your email, and hit Cancel on the class. No hard feelings.

What if a class gets cancelled?

You'll get an email, and it'll show as cancelled in the catalog and on your schedule. Nothing for you to do.

Are there online classes?

Some classes run on Zoom. They're marked in the catalog, and the link comes with your confirmation email and on My Schedule.

Will I get a reminder?

Yes, you'll get a day-before email for each day you have classes, all in one message.

What's the wishlist?

It's where you request classes you'd like to see taught, vote on other people's ideas, and request an encore of a class from a past event. Teachers get a friendly heads-up when there's interest.

My Schedule
How do I see everything I've signed up for?

Click My Schedule and enter your email. Classes, waitlists, and volunteer shifts all show up together.

Can I print my schedule?

Yes! There's a Print button right on the My Schedule page.

Volunteering
How does volunteering work, start to finish?
  1. Sign up once. Your SCA name, email, and a 4-digit PIN. Takes about a minute.
  2. Claim shifts. Grab whatever fits your schedule. They show up on My Schedule right next to your classes.
  3. Check in with QR. Every volunteer area has a posted QR code. Scan when you arrive, then again when you're done.
  4. No QR handy? Any other registered volunteer can vouch for you with their PIN. The honor system has your back.
  5. Earn tickets. Completed shifts earn raffle tickets toward event prizes.
What is my PIN for?

You pick a 4-digit PIN when you create your volunteer profile. It does two jobs: logging you in to the volunteer page, and vouching for another volunteer's shift. Keep it somewhere you'll remember at events.

How does a shift get marked complete?

Scan the area's QR code, or have any other registered volunteer vouch for you with their PIN. Either works.

How does QR check-in work?

Scan the posted code when you arrive to check in, and again when you're finished to check out. SCHEDA matches you to your claimed shift automatically.

What if I forget to check out?

No worries! Your shift closes itself at its scheduled end time and you still get full credit.

What if I can't scan the code?

Grab any other registered volunteer who saw you working. They punch in their own PIN to vouch for you.

What are raffle tickets?

Completed shifts earn tickets toward event raffles. Shifts we really need filled may earn extra.

Why does a shift ask for a password?

A few shifts need sign-off before you can claim them. The claim window tells you who to contact, either the shift lead or the Volunteer Steward.

Can I keep track of jobs I like?

Yes, tap the heart on any shift and use the Jobs I Like filter to see just your favorites.

Teaching
How do I propose a class?

Hit Teach a Class in the navigation and tell us your topic, description, and availability. We'd love to have you.

Can I request a specific time?

Yes, there's a time preferences field. The steward makes the final call based on rooms and slots, but preferences genuinely help.

Do I need to bring anything?

Check the class listing. Most instructors note materials in the description.

I've taught before. Do I have to start from scratch?

No! Use Teach Again to look up your past classes by email and pre-fill a new submission, bio and photo included.

Troubleshooting
I didn't get a confirmation email. What now?

Check your spam folder first (it happens more than you'd think). Still missing? Message me below.

My Schedule shows nothing but I know I signed up.

Nine times out of ten it's the email. Make sure you're entering the exact one you registered with.

Still stuck? Ask me.

Send me a message and I'll get back to you by email. –Rayhana
