An UGA web site is one that provides information about official UGA academic or non-academic programs. However, 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 services 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.
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
