According to the Genki II book, all u-verbs except the ones that end in su are more commonly conjugated as asareru instead of aserareru.

Yea, I've been meaning to add the abbreviated forms. I'm a bit busy, but I'll make sure this gets done in the next few days. Thanks!

You might want to make the construction much more easier:

るverbs (-る) + させられる
うverbs (-う) + あせられる
する → させられる
る→ こさせられる

or:

る verbs: nai form (-nai) + させられる
う verbs: nai form (-nai) + せられる

For u-verbs, this is commonly shorten to ‾される:
(Precisely what gaokyouryuu said.)

わ(ない) -> される -> わされる
か(ない) -> される -> かされる
*** さ(ない) -> せられる -> させられる
た(ない) -> される -> たされる
ば(ない) -> される -> ばされる
ま(ない) -> される -> まされる
ら(ない) -> される -> らされる

*** さない -> される -> さされる (incorrect)
The short form is not possible for verbs ending with す

To be honest, all the 'conjugation' pages need to be rewritten so they're more like this:

There's just not enough time, as I'm spending most of my time on the site's redesign. I'll go ahead and take of this one, but let me know (send me a private message) if you're interested in helping with the other pages.

I understand the causative and passive forms when I hear them, but I don't feel confident enough in their corresponding particle usage to use them heavily in my own speech (or at least, not in circumstances where I need to use particles, anyway). Could we add such an explanation to this page?

Kaji, I added a short usage note on particles - does that clear things up?
