Welcome to the University of Hogwarts. Currently we are in Term one.
The first thing every member should do is read the Official Rulebook
and the University Guidelines that come with it.
All students should immediately get sorted.
If you're not interested in studying and are looking for a job,
then apply in the Employment thread.
You should also check out the Reception.
In this board you'll be able to find the rules, faqs, the guidelines of this University,
who to go to if you need any help and more.

*general,one -- Respect all users. Being disrespectful to someone will not get you far. Do not only respect the staff and members, but all the guests too. If you have a real problem with someone, PM one of the staff members and they'll try to do something about it.two -- Cussing and swearing is aloud while RPing. We advice you to not go overboard with it while OOC though, some people might take it personal.three -- You must be over 13, or ask parental permission. This is an actual proboards rule, so please ask for permission if you're not over the age of 13.four -- Please don't steal any of the site's graphics and/or content.five -- Advertising in any of the boards, including the chatbox, is strictly forbidden. The only place where you can advertise, is in the advertising/floo network board. Don't advertise through PMs either, your account will be banned. For spamming the exact same rule.six -- Everyone has to change their display name into their characters full name, in all lowercase letters. If not, it will be done for you. Put a pretty avatar(no bigger then 150x200)of your character up, as well as the signature (make sure it's no bigger then 500x300).*roleplaying,one -- no godmodding! Please & thank you and no mary sue-ing either. No character is perfect, everyone has flaws. Don't get all physic with your character, (for example) if you feel like something bad is going to happen to your character, don't run away from it.two -- Be realistic. Drama is okay, great even, but one character can't have more going on then everyone else in the world. It just doesn't happen. Be realistic with RPing too. One student can't fight an entire group of others alone and win, it really can't.three -- Please write all of your in character posts in third person. Unless if it's in a letter or OOC, anything other then third person is not allowed.four -- No oneliners! Never ever, reply with a oneliner, you can't RP like that. This is a literate RPG, and every post should be at least three paragraphs long. The more you do it, the better you get. We understand that everyone has different writing styles, but we're able to see if a post is three paragraphs long however you write it, so no worries. If you're having problems with writing this much, please PM me or another staff member, we're happy to help you out and give tips.*characters,one -- You're able to have more then one character, as long as you can keep up with it, let us know and make seperate accounts. You can't hold more then one staff character and one shopowner. This is because positions are limited and it would not be fair for other members.two -- A student can only be a student and a prefect/headboy. A professor can only be a professor and Head of House. If you're a shopowner you can only be a shopowner.three -- If you have more then one character, please remember to log in on all accounts daily! You don't want to lose the character due to "inactivity".four -- Please keep in mind that this is university, so all students should be 18/19 years or older. If your character isn't a student, please keep their age realistic.
