An official UGA web site is one that provides information about official UGA academic or non-academic programs. To qualify as an "official UGA web site" two requirements must be met:
- Your site MUST be connected to a UGA domain
- Your site MUST include the use of UGA trademark and names
Using Third Party Hosting or Services
There are many different services you can use to build a web site for your UGA Department, Center, Institute, Program, Faculty, Lab or Student web site. These are services like wix.com, weebly, wordpress.org, for building and hosting a site, or you can have a site built by a third party web development firm and host your site on hosting like Godaddy, Pantheon, Media Temple, etc. There are a few rules you need to be aware of before making any decisions about using any of these options. Please look at your specific case to find out the process and requirements
Requirements
- Regardless of whether the service is free or paid, you are committing to terms of use on behalf of UGA - you must get the requisite approval through Procurement, UGA Legal Affairs, and Infosec. (is there a link I can send people to about this process?)
- Follow the trademark and licensing requirements when using the UGA Trademark and Names. https://brand.uga.edu/university-logos
