Face to Face

Start a conversation with an instructor, employer, or unfamiliar person with 鈥淗ello鈥� or 鈥淕ood Morning.鈥� Using familiar phrases like 鈥淗ey,鈥� or 鈥淯m鈥� to begin a conversation is impolite and can be misinterpreted as rude or insincere. Use titles when addressing someone in a profession. i.e., Professor, or Doctor. Sir or Ma鈥檃m is always a safe bet if you are unsure.

End a conversation with 鈥淭hank you,鈥� or 鈥淚t was nice visiting with you.鈥�

Do not stay longer than is necessary when meeting with someone. Do not assume their time is endless unless they tell you they have no other engagements and want to visit longer.

Email

Always start out your email with a polite 鈥淒ear鈥� or 鈥淗ello鈥� followed by a polite Mr., Mrs., Ms, Miss, Dr., or Prof, unless they have told you otherwise. If you鈥檙e not sure what your instructor鈥檚 proper title is, using 鈥淒octor鈥� or 鈥淧rofessor鈥� followed by their last name is almost always a safe bet.

Netiquette:

Online communication is the same as in person when addressing classmates and instructors. Use the common rules of netiquette, the acceptable method of communicating on the Internet.

If you think you are struggling beyond self-management of stress, please reach out to a professional in our聽University Counseling Services.

Yes. If a student feels overwhelmed like they do not belong at FHU, college, or as a returning student they are not alone. Many students feel they are forging into an area they do not belong. This may be because it is a new environment and experience beyond anything experienced before, and is perfectly normal. Students come from all over the world, with experiences and backgrounds. Even graduate students may feel they aren鈥檛 good enough, or struggle with comparing themselves to other students. If you think you are struggling beyond self-encouragement, please reach out to someone you feel you can talk with or our聽University Counseling Services.
