A wiki is a Web site or Web page that allows contributors to add to, edit and remove content. It's a collaborative environment, where we work together to create the best topic. Everyone is free to change content and add to the site to make it as complete and accurate. The basic fundamentals are to share what you know, ask about what you don't and add to existing posts rather than removing or replacing them.

CollegeWikis, like wikipedia, is centered around information. CollegeWikis is an information network, not a social network.

No. You do not have to be a current college student to use CollegeWikis. Anyone who wants relevant and pertinent information can signup on CollegeWikis.

When registering you will be asked to provide an email address, and you can use the address you prefer. In order to send email to a school's group you will need to verify that you have a .edu address for that school. For example, if you want to send email to groups at Georgetown you must register a georgetown.edu address.

CollegeWikis is a website for your community - for example, we provide groups for you to join with others in your dorm, courses, and more. We ask that you use your real name so that your peers know who you are.

If you would like to change your name, go to Preferences, then edit your Personal Info.

You cannot change your username. Please provide feedback using the link in the lower right of each page.

Our goal is to have every school on CollegeWikis. If you would like yours added or have general comments, suggestions or ideas, please feel free to send us a message using the Feedback Us form provided on any page of the site.

Have a question? Try posting it to your groups! Just join a group, go to the "Post" tab above, and post your question to that group. It will get sent to those in the group who choose to receive new posts, and they can hit "reply"" directly from their email inbox. You'll be notified when they reply.

On CollegeWikis, everyone can contrtibute. Just look for the 'Edit' tab, or try double-clicking editable text. As soon as you save your changes, they will appear live on the site. If you would like to check your post before saving, simply use the ‘Show Preview’ button.

To unsubscribe at any time, go to Preferences, then notifications. You can select “never” for all groups you would like to unsubscribe from. Also, unselect "collegewikis weekly updates" to unsubscribe from the weekly emails.

You can also respond to any email with “unsubscribe” in the subject to unsubscribe from that group.
