SSU Web Policy
Purpose and Scope
The primary goal of the Sonoma State University web presence is to communicate information about the University's various programs, departments, curricula, and services. A secondary purpose is to promote the reputation of the University, as well as its mission. SSU's website serves a broad audience, and thousands visit it every day for a wide variety of reasons. Finally, the University's website plays a critical role in providing tools that support the various services SSU provides.
As the website reflects the caliber and quality of education at the University, it is essential that it provides current, clear and consistent information, is easy to navigate, and is accurate and informative as well as attractive and inviting. It is the intent of this document to define a web policy that all campus websites and web designers will follow to ensure that compliance with web standards, accessibility, and maintenance are met.
This policy is intended to provide guidelines for web usage while recognizing the creativity and uniqueness that exist within the different departments and programs within the University. It applies to all administrative campus websites that represent University divisions, departments, and programs as well as all campus auxiliaries and affiliates.
Content on employee web pages maintained on University web servers must be limited to work-related material, such as teaching, research or University business.
