I. Policy

The University of South Carolina Aiken's website is managed through the Office of Marketing and Community Relations.  The design, mapping, and content are developed to be consistent with our key marketing messages.

Because consistence in design is critical, webpages are developed from a template.  This ensures that although content is specific for each page, the look of all pages is representative of the University.  The design of all University webpages is the responsibility of the staff of the Office of Marketing and Community Relations.

II. Procedure

In order to manage content across the site, the Office of Marketing and Community Relations hosts web associates program for faculty and staff.  Web associates are appointed by the head of their department and receive informative updates including web statistics on a periodic basis.  Through this program, faculty and staff are trained to update content on departmental webpages using the University's Content Management System (CMS).  Multiple group training sessions for web associates are offered throughout the year in addition to individual training.  The content of all University webpages are the responsibility of the specified web associate of that area.
