Abstract-The study aimed at investigating the extent of implementing Netiquette practices among University students at Tafila Technical University (TTU).

A quantitative questionnaire, consisted of (42) items was developed and administered on (245) male and female students of special education and classroom teacher majors. The findings of the study revealed that the university students have a consensus regarding the general rules of Netiquette. However, they pointed out limited awareness of specific Netiquette rules and aspects. As a result, their practices reflected varied levels of implementation. In addition, the results revealed that the students' perspectives of the implemented Netiquette practices were not affected by gender, specialization, or university study level. Furthermore, the implemented practices revealed that the students' perspectives show limited extent of Netiquette practices related to critical thinking skills. Further implications and future recommendations were discussed.Keywords-Netiquette Practices, Undergraduate Students, Students' Perspectives, Jordanian Universities IntroductionAcquiring advanced communication skills is a vital attribute of the 21 st century people around the world since knowledge could not be existed without communications and interactions.
