# Comprehensive Getting Started Guide

> Detailed onboarding walkthrough for university students, volunteer gate scanners, and society presidents.

# Welcome to UniTix

Whether you are a university student looking to discover campus events or a society president preparing to launch a 2,000-person festival, this onboarding guide walks you through every step required to configure your account, verify your academic credentials, and unlock our full enterprise ticketing engine.

***

## 1. Creating & Verifying a Student Account

To purchase digital passes, join waitlists, transfer tickets, or claim post-event attendance certificates, you must create an official **UniTix Student Profile**.

### Step-by-Step Student Onboarding:

1. Navigate to the primary marketplace: `unitix.aarx.online` and click **Login / Sign Up** in the top right header.
2. **Account Creation:** Enter your primary university email address (or personal email) and create a strong password (`8+ characters`).
3. **Email Verification:** Check your inbox for our automated verification link (`Verify Your Email Address`). Click the link to activate your session.
4. **Academic Identity Verification (`Required for Ticket Purchases`):**
   * **Full Legal Name:** Enter your name exactly as it appears on your student ID card.
   * **University Roll / Registration Number:** Enter your exact student number (`e.g., 2022-CS-101` or `21-EE-045`). This number is permanently stamped on your digital QR passes and attendance certificates.
5. **Profile Headshot (`Facial Check at Gate`):** Upload a clear, high-contrast headshot photograph.
   * *Security Notice:* When you present your digital pass at venue gates (`unitix.aarx.online/scan`), your profile picture is rendered directly on the security guard's screen alongside your roll number to verify your physical identity and prevent pass sharing.

## 2. Registering an Organizing Society (For Presidents)

If you are the President, Vice President, or Executive Director of a university society, club, or departmental chapter, you must submit an official registration application before you can create events or collect funds.

### Step-by-Step Society Registration:

1. Log into your verified Student Account on `unitix.aarx.online`.
2. Click **Register Society** in the top navigation bar or sidebar.
3. Complete the **Multi-Stage Onboarding Application**:
   * **Basic Identity:** Enter your exact Society Name, select your University, choose a clean URL slug (`/s/your-slug`), and upload a `1:1` square logo and `16:9` widescreen banner.
   * **Faculty Advisor Verification:** Enter the full Name, Title, and official university email address (`@university.edu.pk`) of your supervising Professor or Faculty Advisor.
   * **KYC Identity Verification:** Upload high-resolution photographs of the Society President's **National ID Card (`CNIC`) Front & Back**. This is required by financial regulations to prevent money laundering (`AML`) and fraudulent ticket operations.
   * **Society Banking Ledger:** Enter your official Bank Account Title, Bank Name, and International Bank Account Number (`IBAN`). All ticket revenue payouts are routed via direct wire (`IBFT`) exclusively to this registered account.
4. Click **Submit Application for Review**.

## 3. The Verification Review Lifecycle

Once submitted, your society transitions into the **Pending Review (`status: pending`)** state:

* **Operations Audit (`24 to 48 Hours`):** Our compliance team manually inspects your CNIC copies, verifies the university IBAN format, and validates your Faculty Advisor.
* **Advisor Endorsement:** An automated verification link is emailed directly to your Faculty Advisor. Once the advisor clicks to confirm their supervision, your profile unlocks the **Verified Blue Checkmark (`☑️ Verified Society`)**.
* **Dashboard Unlock:** Upon approval, your student navigation bar dynamically updates to include **Society Dashboard**, giving you instant access to the Event Builder, Gate Scanners, Analytics Suite, and Wallet!
