Placement of Official CSUCI Web Sites

To ensure consistency of the University's digital brand as well as the continued accessibility of web content, all official administrative and academic content which uses the CSUCI digital brand should reside in CSUCI's official web content management system wherever possible. Exceptions shall be made for special cases as well as web sites hosted by 3rd parties per agreement with the University. Please contact Web Services for more information.
