Is this website private?
Yes. Solo Practice University® is private and only accessible to community members who are logged in. Profile pages, classrooms, directories and groups are private areas and their content is not indexed by search engines like Google. The only sections of the site that are not private include the Solo Practice University® Blog, where blog posts and comments to blog posts are publicly visible, and the COOP, where comments and reviews are also publicly visible.
With that being said, you should never assume absolute privacy. You should assume the opposite. Never write anything you would regret having published in a public forum. We are a growing community of (currently) nearly 1000 lawyers and law students. There’s no guarantee that another member will not copy and paste what you write in other public places.
Bottom line: You should feel comfortable participating in this private community of lawyers and law students, but treat this platform as you would any other web-based platform such as email or private listservs.
Can I change my password?
Yes. Anytime. From the navigational bar at the very top of the page, select “[Your Name] > Settings > General” tab. Type your new password twice where indicated and select “Save Changes”.
What if I forget my password?
No problem. The log in page has a link called “Lost Your Password”. Click that link and you will be prompted to enter your username or email address on record. Enter that information and an automatic message will be sent to your email address on record instantly.
Can I customize my email notification settings?
Yes. By default, you will receive an email notification for a variety of different events. If someone requests to add you to their list of contacts, for example, you will receive an email notification. Likewise, if someone writes you a private message, you will receive an email notification. To customize what types of events will trigger an email notification, select “[Your Name] > Settings > Notifications” from the navigational bar at the top of the page.
What are the Forums?
Every group has a forum where members of that group can create topics and other members can reply to that topic directly. When posting messages in the group forums, make sure that your reply is relevant to the topic. If not, you might want to consider creating a new topic. This will help to keep all forum topics relevant and on-topic.
How do I register for courses?
Registration is not required. As a member of the Solo Practice University® community, you have access to all courses. If you are interested in a course, however, we recommend you join the official study group for that course. Each classroom has a link near the top of the page called “Official Study Group”. You should join the study group for the courses you are interested in following because the group is a great place to ask questions and start conversations with faculty members and students.
How do cancel my subscription?
If you think you are finished learning, canceling your enrollment is easy. From the top navigational bar, select “Help > Cancel Enrollment”. The “Help” drop-down is on the right side of the top navigational bar. Or follow this link.
After cancellation you will have full access until the end of the period you have paid. As a courtesy to you, our student, we will not delete your profile or contacts. Why? Because we have learned many students return and we want you to simply be able to pick up where you left off.
