Email Etiquette: Consultation with your subject coordinator and/or teachers via email Your teachers receive many emails each day. In order to enable them to respond to your emails appropriately and in a timely fashion, students are asked to observe basic requirements of professional communication: Consider what the communication is about x x x

Is your question addressed elsewhere (e.g. in this subject outline or, where applicable, on the subject's eLearning site)? Is it something that is better discussed in person or by telephone? This may be the case if your query requires a lengthy response or a dialogue in order to address. If so, see consultation times above and/or schedule an appointment. Are you addressing your request to the most appropriate person?

Specific email title/ header to enable easy identification of subject related/ student emails x

Identify the subject code of the subject you are enquiring about (as your teacher may be involved in more than one subject) in the email header. Add a brief, specific header after the subject code where appropriate.

Professional courtesy x x x x

x

Address your teacher appropriately by name (and formal title if you do not yet know them). Use full words (avoid 'text-speak' abbreviations), correct grammar and correct spelling. Be respectful and courteous. Academics will normally respond within 1-2 business days. If the matter is urgent, you may wish to telephone the teaching staff whose contact details are given in this subject outline or contact the School. Please ensure that you include your full name and identify your seminar or tutorial group in your email so that your teachers know who they are communicating with and can follow-up personally where appropriate.

Students must comply with the University's Student Conduct Rules and related policies including the IT Acceptable Use Policy and Bullying Prevention Policy, whether undertaking their studies face-to-face, online or remotely.
