General Terms of Use for Adult University Online

Online classes, message boards and chat rooms are like any other organized gathering of people; there are rules of etiquette that everyone is expected to follow. Your personal experience is bound only by a set of common-sense rules.

• Be respectful and courteous of others, and their views - even if they happen to differ from yours.
• Do not allow public discussions/debates to turn into personal arguments.
• Refrain from typing in all caps - this is generally considered "shouting" online, and is also more difficult for others to read.
• Do not use vulgar or profane language in classrooms, message boards or chat areas.
• The chat rooms and message boards are monitored. We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently ban anyone from the message boards and chat rooms.
