Guidelines for Online Interactions

Studying online can be a challenge, and we encourage you to interact with other students as much as possible using the Student Discussion Boards within each course.

The Career Academy want to make sure that all students feel safe, and comfortable sharing their experiences, views and information about the course material, and as such we require all students who enrol in a program with The Career Academy to understand, and adhere to, the key points within the Guidelines for Online Interaction which are presented below:

  1. Everyone is welcomed and valued. Please do not make comments within the online community that may offend or discriminate against people or groups.
  2. Be honest. Please feel free to talk about your story and experiences using your own knowledge, but you should not share other people’s information or stories without asking them if it’s ok first.
  3. Be Collaborative. The Career Academy is about everyone working together to help one another.
  4. Be Respectful. We value human difference and diversity and mutual respect is built through our openness and fellowship. You have a responsibility to treat all members with respect and courtesy regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, social background, disability, sexual preference or religious beliefs or customs.
  5. You will not upload or post any of the following Prohibited Content anywhere on the Site:
  • confidential information or other information that you do not have the right to disclose.

  • content that defames, harasses, bullies or threatens others (this includes language which is lewd, aggressive, insulting, racist, sexually explicit, threatens bodily harm/death, general serious threat, planting statements to provoke third party stalking harassment).
