Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. See the FAQs below.
How do I sign up for a SONA account?
See How to Participate.
I forgot my SONA ID number. How do I find it?
Contact the CAB Lab: unocablab@unomaha.edu or 402.554.2224
How do I check to see if my participation credits were granted?
Sign in to your SONA account, and at the bottom you will see studies, dates completed and amount of participation credits.
What if the system says “awaiting action from researcher”?
First, check to ensure you have completed the entire study. If you exited early, the study is not complete and credit will not be granted.
If you have completed the study and still have a question please contact the CAB Lab.
Participation credits for select studies are not granted automatically. A CAB Lab assistant will complete this usually within two business days after the study is completed.
How do I reassign participation credits from one course to another course?
Click Reassign and select the course for which to assign credits. Note that credit can only be reassigned to courses within the current semester.
What if my professor has assigned a specific study to be completed but I completed it last semester?
Visit with your professor to see if you can complete an alternative study for the participation requirement.
What if I still need participation credits, but there are no more studies currently available?
Studies will become available throughout the semester, so please continually check back. However, if it is near the end of the semester, you may want to choose the research paper alternative.
What if I can’t keep the appointment for my study?
Please notify the CAB Lab at least 24 hours in advance via email or phone.
If you fail to notify the CAB Lab of your absence, you will not be allowed to sign up for another lab-based study and your instructor will be notified.
