What are the differences between personal websites and sites that represent Boise State programs, research, services, and other university activities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated guidance is available to help faculty and staff distinguish between personal websites, official profile pages, and websites representing university work. Learn when a site is considered university-affiliated based on its purpose and what visitors would reasonably understand it to represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The update also summarizes approved platform and advance-approval requirements for websites representing university programs, research labs, projects, services, organizations, and other activities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty and staff should consult University Web Strategy before selecting an external platform, contracting with others, or beginning development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
