 Purpose of the Listserv

IACAC's Listserv is a forum for professional discourse on topics related to the college admission process. The Listserv is intended for IACAC members involved in college admission counseling at the secondary and postsecondary levels of education. This Listserv is not a consumer-oriented forum.

 Listserv Etiquette

• Signature Tag: Include a signature tag on all messages with your name, affiliation and location.
• Subject Line: State the specific topic of your comments in the subject line. All Listserv emails will automatically have the tag "[IACAC]" inserted at the beginning of the subject line for easy identification and sorting.
• Respect for Others: Avoid personal attacks on others. The discussions on this Listserv are meant to stimulate conversation, not to create contention.
• Requests for Information: The Listserv is meant to be a forum for professional discourse on topics related to the college admission process. Requests for resources, specific programs that meet certain criteria, etc., are permitted, but please do not respond to the entire Listserv with each suggestion. Instead, IACAC prefers that the subscriber who requested the information post a summary of the responses.
• Attachments: All emails with attachments will be automatically rejected in their entirety. An automatic message from the server will reply to you indicating that the message did not go through. This is to prevent the spread of viruses and for the entire membership's protection.

Use of the Listserv for promotional use, commercial use, advertising purposes or any other unauthorized use is prohibited. If you are interested in reaching the IACAC membership with your promotional message, opportunities are available at the IACAC Annual Conference, through the IACAC Newsbrief and other print publications. For more information, please contact Linda Haffner, IACAC Executive Assistant.
