Purpose & Audience
University Branded Sites

When you , ET&S works with you through the whole process, from consultation, budgeting and planning to development and delivery and beyond, to ongoing support and maintenance. After consultation, if it’s determined that an outside vendor should create the site or application, ET&S will help you with that process.
To set up a 69ÀÖÔ° Drupal website, the following criteria must be met:
- 69ÀÖÔ° staff or faculty must request/sponsor a site for a department or organization with demonstrated need.
- Either no site currently exists where the material can be posted or a parent site exists under which the new site can be posted.
- No existing site/application exists that covers the same material or offers the same functionality.
Personal Websites
Personal websites are created by members of the university community acting as individuals rather than as official representatives of the 69ÀÖÔ°. As such, this service is not to be used as the official website for any 69ÀÖÔ° college, school, institute, department, or administrative or service unit.
Site owners may elect to grant editing and other content creation and management rights to any other individual with a 69ÀÖÔ° account. Site owners, however, will ultimately be responsible for the site and its contents.

Individuals are responsible for backing up any website content that they post or remove.
If no edits have been made to a mySites or Domain of One's Own website in a year, email notifications may be sent to the site owner. After notification, the owner will have 30 days to log into the site, or the site will be unpublished. Notification emails will be sent out prior to the site being unpublished.
