Dalhousie University respects privacy and personal information. The information you provide is used only for the purpose of customizing your engagement with the DalU mobile app and desktop portal, and is not shared outside of the university.

We welcome diverse opinions, open dialogue, and comments from our community, and ask that users be respectful of others.

We reserve the right to remove or report, at our discretion:

posts/comments that solicit, spam or promote endeavours unrelated to Dalhousie
posts/comments that include threats, profanity, spam, or other abusive commentary
posts/comments that are vulgar, inappropriate, defamatory, disrespectful, indecent, hateful, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or otherwise degrading, defamatory, or discriminatory
posts/comments that degrade any race, religion, gender, age, or abilities
content that is menacing, harassing, or infringes upon any person’s right to safe use of the app and desktop portal
content flagged as inappropriate by other members of the community
content that has an implied intent of violating the DalU terms of use and/or community guidelines

Everyone at Dalhousie is expected to treat others with dignity and respect. All university policies apply when using the DalU mobile app and desktop portal, including the Acceptable Use Policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Posts out of compliance with these conditions will be removed and reported to the Office of the Vice-Provost, Student Affairs. Disciplinary action may be taken if users of the DalU mobile app and desktop portal do not follow this community expectation. We also reserve the right to remove, mute, and/or block users who are deemed to be breaking our community guidelines.

Students are encouraged to report instances related to misconduct and issues of safety through the university’s established reporting mechanisms rather than posting in the app or desktop portal.
