The Information Technology Center (ITC) will create a Website for any department within the Division of Student Affairs upon request. ITC will design the site based on the Department's role and preference.

Creating a Website is a very time-consuming activity. As a result, departments are usually required to exercise a great deal of patience while the construction of the site is taking place. Adding to the delay is the fact that ITC is always working on a number of other Websites at the time that the initial request is made.

Procedures to get your Department's website done

1. To have a Website created, a department (Division of Student Affairs only) initiates the action by contacting ITC and making the request.
   
   
2. ITC's staff will meet with representatives of the Department to determine what the Department would like to have displayed on the Website.
   
   
3. The Department should have a fairly good idea what it would like to have displayed on the Website.
   
   
4. Based on the content revealed by the Department, ITC will give an estimated start date and end date for the project.
   
   
5. ITC and the requesting Department will agree on dates by which the Department should submit:
   1. Content (preferably in .html file format)
   2. Photographs (either on paper or in file format)
   3. Forms to be submitted electronically.
   4. The menu items for the Home Page and subsequent pages.
      
      
6. ITC will prepare at least one HomePage for the Dept's review. Once the Department has agreed on the appearance of the HomePage, inclusion of the content will then commence.
   
   
7. ITC and the Department will schedule additional meetings as required to review the site.
   
   
8. When all of the content has been included, there will be a final review and then all documents are transferred to the Dept's official Website location.
   
   
9. ITC will store the files from the old Website on a disk and return the disk to the Dept.
   
   
10. Once the Website is in its correct display location, ITC will correct flaws for the seven days.
    
    
11. The Department then becomes responsible for maintaining the Website.
