An UGA web site is one that provides information about official UGA academic or non-academic programs . Howeverthat advance the mission of the University.
A site is NOT considered an official UGA web site if it is a personal site for faculty, staff or student, a student organization site, a site dedicated to social or policy advocacy issues, or any other site whose exclusive purpose is NOT dedicated to the mission of UGA.
If your site is considered an official UGA site because it is exclusively dedicated to academic or non-academic programs that advance the mission of the University, to qualify as an "official UGA web site" two other requirements must be met:
- Your site MUST be connected to a UGA domain
- Your site MUST include the use of UGA trademark and names according to the UGA Branding Standards for Unit Logos
We strongly recommend that your site include the following elements:
- An explicit link to the UGA home page (http://www.uga.edu):
You should include somewhere on each page an explicit link to the home page. The link should read either University of Georgia Home or UGA Home. This link can be HTML text or part of a text graphic. - Link to school, college or division home page
Departments and offices should provide clear links to the home page of the school, college or division within which they reside. - Footer information
Each page should include the following standard footer information:
The email address of the person responsible for maintaining the page and responding user feedback: e.g. Feedback, questions or accessibility issues: webmaster@site.uga.edu.
The date the page was last updated: (e.g. Last updated: March 6, 2016). - Academic Departments
Academics departments should include all of the following features described above, plus:
• Information for prospective students including links to Undergraduate Admissions and Graduate School admissions
• Information distinguishing undergraduate program offerings (if applicable) - Accessible design
In association with the Disability Resource Center and web design experts on campus, EITS has selected and deployed LIFT, a server-based tool from UsableNet Inc., that dynamically generates customizable “text-only” views of websites. To make text-only versions of your pages, simply add a new link to your main page. The link could say, for example, “Text-Only Version”, and your URL link code would look like this:
http://text.usg.edu:8080/tt/your_site.uga.edu
Transcoded pages also include a tool section by default, allowing the user to customize the page by changing font size, page colors and other functions. For more information about web accessibility visithttp://wikiwiki.uga.edu/wag/index.php/UGA_Web_Accessibility_Group
