E-mail Etiquette

Use Proper E-mail Etiquette

 

Proper etiquette must be exercised with E-mail correspondence. In E-mails, students typically use language that has no place in professional correspondence. In addition, misuse or overuse of common abbreviations (btw, im writing 2 plz ask u 4 admission) can affect an admissions officer’s decision regarding your acceptance.

 

Your E-mail account should be appropriate as well. Receiving an E-mail from love2party@xxx.com or bewildwithme@goodtimes.com will only raise questions with admissions officers.

 

Address E-mail correspondence to “Dear Mr. A” or “Dear Ms. B”; don’t use first names or nicknames. Use spell check on your E-mails and attachments before sending them electronically.
