While UCCS does not limit the private use of social media, it is important to realize that the same laws, professional expectations, and guidelines for interacting with students, parents, alumni, donors, media, and other university constituents apply online as in person. As university employees, UCCS faculty and staff represent the university in and outside of the office and classroom . Faculty and staff are responsible for anything posted on your personal social media sites. Policies and procedures include but are not limited to:
