AU Community Rules

The Autodesk University community is open to people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to, members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, disability, age or religion. 

Whether you’re enjoying our year-round learning content or attending one of our in-person or virtual events, we’re committed to creating a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for everyone. 

As such, we invite all our community members—customers, students, speakers, instructors, exhibitors, media, staff, sponsors and other participants—to uphold and abide by the following standards: 

• Be kind. The AU Community is a harassment-free environment. We do not tolerate hateful, discriminatory, threatening, or offensive language and behavior. 
  
  

• Speak up. If you or someone else are being harassed or experiencing other unacceptable behavior from another community member, immediately report it to au.info@autodeskuniversity.com. 
  
  
• Keep an open mind. AU is all about connecting with and learning from our peers. Participate in AU’s global community by showing respect for everyone and celebrating diverse backgrounds, perspectives, cultures, and experiences.
