Email

Email is a required communication tool for college. With it, you can write messages to friends, colleagues, instructors, and other students. Each school may use a different software program for email. Often there is a web-based program to check email from anywhere there is Internet access. Be sure to check at your school.

Email Etiquette
- Always put your full name on the email and the class
- Use standard English – no text message language
- Proofread your message and check for spelling errors
- Write in full sentences with proper punctuation
- Don’t expect an email exchange to substitute for a face-to-face conference unless you are taking an online class
- Ask you question(s) clearly
- Be concise
- Do not be rude
- Be polite and respectful
- Don’t type in all CAPS – this indicates yelling
- Don’t forward chain emails
- Do not expect an immediate response
