Email Etiquette
Engineering students are required to have and maintain their RU email account.
We send students important dated materials via email and campus post office.
In B100, we greatly appreciate if students provide their name, major, graduation year, RU-ID # when emailing
so that we can easily identify you. We also appreciate if students would email one dean at a time and wait
for a response, as opposed to sending a copy of one email to multiple deans without the other dean(s) knowing.
Students often do the latter - resulting in 2 or more people researching the same thing, which is an unnecessary
waste of time.
When writing to persons other than your friends or family, it is suggested that you take a mildly conservative
approach to your words and remember who your intended audience is. Check your email for grammar, spelling, and
typos. Don't use too many abbreviations or slang words. Any profanity is obviously frowned upon. Hopefully
your writing reflects your in-person behavior as well.
Email is a great additional tool for advising if it is used properly. It can be very informative and time
saving on both ends. In short, when sending emails, be to the point, polite, patient, and professional.
Hopefully we have succeeded in doing the same for you.
