The University of Texas and Texas Parents is not responsible for the content of any messages posted to this site. Remember that the Texas Parents e-Forum provides a place for you to discuss UT and student-related issues and concerns. Participants agree and understand that information and advice disseminated through this site are the opinions, suggestions, views, and experiences of the author and not UT staff and administrators (except for posts by these individuals). This service is not a substitute for advice given to parents and their students by UT departments, offices and administrators and nothing contained in this message board is intended to constitute professional advice. Advice or information received via this message board should not be relied upon for education, medical, legal or financial decisions. The University of Texas and Texas Parents is committed to parent confidentiality and privacy. Keep in mind that this type of communication vehicle does allow other discussion participants to see your name and all messages posted to this site. Information posted to e-Forum is considered public information and is subject to open records requests. With consideration to other message board users, you agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, offensive, hateful, threatening, or sexually oriented comments or other material that may violate any applicable laws. Any comment that might result in criminal or illegal behavior is prohibited. You also agree that, without notice, Texas Parents has the right to monitor, record, delete, or edit any content not within the intended purpose of this message board.

No advertising or soliciting is allowed. Posting chain letters, pyramid schemes, charity requests, or petitions for signatures is not permitted. The distribution of viruses or other harmful computer code is prohibited.

Many people find it helpful to share ideas with one another via message boards. However, because each person’s experience is specific to them, please consult a UT administrator or other professional with specific concerns or needs.
