Campus Web CMS

As of March 2, 2012, New CMS Requests on Hold

Due to a backlog of requests and the retrofitting of existing sites with the new campus design, we are putting new site requests on hold. You may submit a request to campusweboffice@ucsd.edu and we will get back to you once we come up for air. Thanks for your patience!

The campus offers a Web content management tool to manage your UC San Diego Web site. The advantages of using the campus CMS are:

  • It allows people with little or no experience to build and maintain professional Web sites, using the campus templates.
  • It creates a more coherent Web presence across the UC San Diego Web space.
  • We'll help you migrate your website and teach you how to use the system.
  • It's free for campus units.

What are the prerequisites?

  1. Your site must be permanent.  One-time events, notices, and other temporary items should be advertised on an existing website.
  2. You (or someone is your area) is committed to owning and updating the website on a regular basis.
  3. You agree to use the standard campus-wide templates.

What product is the campus using?

Based on extensive analysis, we've chosen to use Hannon Hill Cascade Server.

Who can use the CMS?

The CMS is available to UCSD Academic & Adminstrative units. At this time, we cannot support labs, student organizations, or Health Sciences sites:

  • Health Sciences clients can find information on branding and templates on the Health Sciences Branding site.
  • ACMS provides websites for student organizaitons.
  • ACMS also provides web development on a recharge basis for UCSD clients.

What is the cost for clients?

The Campus Web CMS is free. The system and services are funded by Administrative Computing & Telecommunications (ACT).

Next steps

  1. Review the Web CMS Service Level Agreement (SLA).
  2. Decide if you are comfortable with the design templates.
  3. Schedule a 30 minute demo and consultation to determine if the campus CMS is right for you.
