Sign out
Sign out of your Fuxam account on the mobile app from the Account tab, and understand what happens to your sign-in, saved data, and push notifications.
Sign out ends your sign-in on the current device and returns you to the welcome screen. It is the right choice when you finish on a shared computer-lab phone, a loaner device, or any handset you do not want to leave logged in. After sign-out you must complete Sign in again before calendar, chat, check-in, or account data is available. Fuxam Mobile does not support switching to a different account while you are already signed in — sign out first, then sign in with the other credentials.
Why it matters
University mobile devices pass through many hands. A signed-in Fuxam account exposes your schedule, messages, student ID, and institutional data to whoever picks up the phone next. Signing out is the standard security step — the mobile equivalent of locking your workstation. It also clears saved data on the device so the next user starts from the welcome screen rather than inheriting your unread badges.
How it fits
Sign-out is the mirror of Sign in at the end of a mobile workflow. It lives at the bottom of the Account tab, below profile and preference settings described in Your student ID and profile and Switch institution, language, and theme.
| Before sign-out | After sign-out |
|---|---|
| All five tabs available | Welcome screen only until sign-in |
| Push notifications active for this device | Push notifications stop until you sign back in |
| Unread chat badges and saved data present | Badges and saved data clear |
| App Version visible at bottom of Account | App Version still visible on Account before and after |
The sign-in flow may again present Complete your profile information if required fields are still outstanding for your institution.
Key concepts
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Sign-in | Your active connection to Fuxam on this device after you enter your credentials. |
| Welcome screen | The first screen after sign-out, where you tap Get Started to sign in again. |
| Sign Out | The control at the bottom of the Account tab that ends your sign-in on this device. |
How to sign out
When you finish using Fuxam on a shared or personal device, sign out to protect your account.
Open the Account tab.
Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Tap Sign Out.
Confirm if prompted. You return to the welcome screen and must sign in again to access your data.
When to sign out
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Shared or lab device | Always sign out when finished |
| Personal phone, normal daily use | Optional — many users stay signed in |
| Switching to a different Fuxam account | Sign out first — the app does not allow switching accounts while you are still signed in |
| “Already signed in” on another device | Sign out on the other device or continue there — see Sign in |
What changes after sign-out
- Calendar, Chat, Check-In, and Notifications are inaccessible until you authenticate again.
- Push notifications stop for this device until you sign back in — adjust future delivery through Manage push notifications after your next sign-in.
- Apple Wallet passes added from Add your ID to Apple Wallet may still appear in Wallet after sign-out; if a pass stops working, sign in and review your student ID status on the Account tab.
- Your App Version number remains visible at the bottom of the Account screen before and after sign-out.
Best practices
- Sign out on any device you do not personally control — especially before returning lab equipment.
- Before sign-out on a personal phone, note whether you rely on push alerts for appointments or chat; you will not receive them until you sign in again.
- To use a different account, sign out first — the app does not allow switching accounts while you are still signed in.
- After signing back in, pull down on the calendar to confirm sync — see View your schedule.
Common pitfalls
| Pitfall | What to do |
|---|---|
| Cannot sign in with another email | Sign out completely first; staying signed in blocks account switching |
| Missing notifications after sign-in | Revisit Notification Preferences — Manage push notifications |
| “Already signed in” error | Sign out on the other device or use that device — Sign in |
| Forgot password after sign-out | Tap Forgot Password? on the welcome screen — Reset your password |
FAQ
Will sign-out delete my account?
No. Sign-out only ends your sign-in on this device. Your institutional account and data remain in Fuxam.
Can I sign out remotely from another device?
This handbook documents sign-out from the Account tab on the device in your hand. To use a different account elsewhere, sign out on the device that is still signed in — see Sign in.
Do I need to sign out to change institution?
No. Use Institution on the Account tab — Switch institution, language, and theme. Sign-out is for ending your sign-in entirely.
