Questions?
For problems or questions with using Sedona, contact the COBA Web Team in BA 151 or by email at COBAWeb@unt.edu.
COBA is using a web-based, third-party application called SEDONA to collect, maintain and report faculty data for a variety of purposes, including AACSB accrediation. The application was designed and developed by an Accounting/IS professor from Tennesee University who is highly familiar with accreditation requirements and is continually improving the system as additional requirements arise. The system is used by many business schools around the country.
Accessing SEDONA
- To access SEDONA, go to the website www.sedonaweb.com. Note: Sedona will only work on Internet Explorer. You may want to bookmark this site for quicker access as you use the system more frequently.
- Click on the "Faculty" link from the left panel.
- You will need to get your Sedona ID from Charlie Brien. Enter your Sedona ID as your Faculty ID followed by "UNT". For example, if your id is 654321, your Sedona Faculty ID would be 654321UNT.
- Enter your password. Your initial password is set to be your Sedona ID. You should change your password after logging into the system and use that password from that point on.
- Press the "Enter SEDONA" button.
Getting Started
If you are not yet familiar with using Sedona, you may want to do the following once you've successfully logged in but before proceeding with entering your data:

- Change your password by clicking on the button on the lower right of the main screen. Make sure you have a way to remember what the password is since it could be long periods of time between accessing the system.
- Click on the "Responsiblities" button. This will open a brief audio file which explains some of the main reponsiblities you have.
- Click on the "Tutorial" button to view a short presenttion which gives a good introduction on how to use the system.
- Update your profile by clicking on the "Profile" button. Note: You do not have to upload your photo. We will do that for you. However, you are welcome to change it if you want.
Navigating the System
You might find it helpful to consider the SEDONA system a seperate application of its own, rather than a web page. You will want to get used to using the navigation buttons such as "Navigator" to return to the main page, and other navigational buttons within the page to move around the site. If you use the browsers Back/Previous/Forward/Next buttons, it may cause an error in the page, forcing you to log in again.
Additional Help
As you start entering data into the system, you may want to take advantage of several resources available from the site before contacting the Web Team:
- From the main screen, on the left side, click the "Where in SEDONA should I go to enter..." button, which will provide a brief explanation of each data entry module.
- From the main screen, near the center, click on the "FAQ" button for additional questions and answers.
