Alumni Network Rules & Code of Conduct

1. Purpose of the Platform

This platform exists to connect alumni, foster professional and personal growth, and strengthen our shared community. It is a space for networking, collaboration, mentorship, and celebration of achievements — not for spam, harassment, or the spread of misinformation.

2. Respect and Professionalism

  • Treat every member with respect, regardless of background, role, or opinion.
  • Harassment, bullying, hate speech, or any form of discrimination is strictly prohibited.
  • Always communicate in a professional, courteous, and inclusive manner.

3. Privacy and Sensitive Information

  • Do not share personal or sensitive information about yourself, another individual, or any business entity without explicit consent.
  • Sensitive information includes but is not limited to:
    • Personal identification numbers, contact details, or private addresses
    • Financial or employment information
    • Confidential company data, internal documents, or client details
  • Discussions about employers or businesses must remain general and respectful.

4. Authenticity and Integrity

  • Use your real name and accurate details when registering.
  • Do not impersonate any person, alumni, or organization.
  • Avoid spreading false, misleading, or unverified information.
  • Any fundraising, promotion, or event shared should be genuine and verifiable.

5. No Spam or Unauthorized Promotion

  • Avoid posting unsolicited advertisements, repetitive messages, or irrelevant links.
  • Business or job postings should be placed only in designated sections (e.g., “Careers” or “Business Showcase”).
  • Messages that aim solely for commercial gain without value to the alumni community may be removed.

6. Constructive Engagement

  • Debate ideas, not individuals.
  • Encourage discussions that add value, insight, or opportunities to the community.
  • Report inappropriate behavior or suspicious content using the Report feature or by contacting moderators.

7. Data and Platform Security

  • Do not attempt to hack, scrape, or misuse the platform’s data or APIs.
  • Sharing login credentials or using automated bots is strictly prohibited.
  • Always keep your password and account credentials secure.

8. Events and Networking Etiquette

  • When attending in-person or virtual alumni events, maintain the same standards of respect and privacy as on the platform.
  • Obtain consent before taking or sharing photos, recordings, or private discussions.

9. Content Ownership and Use

  • Members retain ownership of their content but grant the platform the right to display and promote community content in line with privacy settings.
  • The platform reserves the right to moderate or remove content that violates these rules.

10. Enforcement

  • Violations may result in content removal, warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from the platform.
  • Severe violations involving harassment, threats, or data breaches may be reported to authorities if necessary.

11. Our Shared Values

We believe in:

  • Respectful Connection
  • Lifelong Learning
  • Collaboration and Support
  • Integrity and Privacy
  • Community Growth

12. Final Note

This platform thrives when alumni contribute meaningfully and act responsibly. Every post, message, or interaction helps shape a network built on trust, professionalism, and shared pride in our alma mater.
