Is it okay to add your teachers as Facebook friends?

[Sean]

While there is nothing (aside from social mores) preventing you from adding an instructor as a friend, certain laws/codes of conduct (that vary from state to state) may prevent the instructor from accepting your friend request.

From personal experience, the rules governing this in North Carolina dictate an instructor may not accept a friend request until a student's exit from the school system (be it graduation or dropping out).

Hope this helps!
