  • Snapchat Tuesday Takeover
Responsible Use Agreement The basic purpose for the Snapchat Tuesday Takeover is to showcase what life is like as a student at WVU – from classes (well, maybe not during class) to clubs and activities to just hanging out with
  • friends. You have been carefully selected to use WVU’s Snapchat account – WestVirginiaU – and to
publicly represent WVU for 24 hours beginning at _______A.M. on _____________, 2016. During this time, you are encouraged to highlight your unique personality in a respectful and responsible way and to let the University’s Snapchat followers get to know you a little bit. By doing this, our followers will feel better connected to our campus. We also hope to cultivate a stronger sense of community and connection through conversation, collaboration, and a sharing of ideas and stories. To help with this, please DO post about:
  • Classes and academic projects;
  • Your student organizations;
  • Life in Morgantown;
  • Campus events;
  • Your job/internship;
  • Hobbies outside of school; or
  • Volunteer work and service projects.
However, because you are representing West Virginia University on SnapChat, you are to keep the University’s reputation in mind as you post at all times. So, please DO NOT post:
  • Profanity;
  • About drug or alcohol use;
  • Personal attacks on students, faculty or anyone else;
  • Pictures or videos containing nudity;
  • Personal information about individuals without their permission;
  • Business promotions; or
  • Opinions regarding politics or University policies.
Further, you are not permitted to change or alter the account’s handle, password or associated email account – you are only authorized to post to “Our Story.” And, please do not share the account password with anyone – you are the only authorized user and will be held accountable for all posts. The Snapchat account will be monitored. The University reserves the right to delete any post and the University reserves the right to revoke your account access at any time for any reason. Violations of this Responsible Use Agreement may result in a violation of the Campus Code of Conduct.
