You can get started and add content to this page by clicking Edit at the top of this page, or you can learn more about wiki libraries by clicking How To Use This Wiki Library.

What is a wiki library?

Wikiwiki means quick in Hawaiian. A wiki library is a document library in which users can easily edit any page. The library grows organically by linking existing pages together or by creating links to new pages. If a user finds a link to an uncreated page, he or she can follow the link and create the page.

In business environments, a wiki library provides a low-maintenance way to record knowledge. Information that is usually traded in e-mail messages, gleaned from hallway conversations, or written on paper can instead be recorded in a wiki library, in context with similar knowledge.

Other example uses of wiki libraries include brainstorming ideas, collaborating on designs, creating an instruction guide, gathering data from the field, tracking call center knowledge, and building an encyclopedia of knowledge.

Question: How do I add my batch entry in the "Class(es) of FAST" section

Answer:

Please make sure to follow the following syntax when naming your batch in the "Class(es) of FAST" section of the Alumni Web Portal. The syntax should be:
 
 [FAST|NUCES] [CAMPUS CITY] (Batch start year - batch end year)
 
For example, here is an entry:
 
 FAST Lahore (1992-1994)
 
or
 
 NUCES Karachi (2005-2008)
 
etc.
 
If you see your batch entry not matching the above standard, then please send email to helpdesk@fastalumni.org . You can also send a request to create a Portal user account or to reset an existing account password. You will automatically get subscribed to the FAST Alumni Web Portal Newsletter as part of the account creation process. Please mention your batch year and campus location in your correspondence.
