Departmental Web Sites

Web sites are available at the university for representing departments or organizations. These are extensions of the main university Web site and should be considered a professional representation of your department.

1. Request a Site: This will create a Web address for you much like the following:
   
   http://www.sandiego.edu/its
   
   
2. Attend a Contribute for Departments training to learn how to use the USD or your school's templates within our content management software. The training is offered bi-weekly at staggered times throughout the semester. This training is mandatory before ITS can authorize Web editing software for your office computer.
   
   
3. Request Software once you have attended training. To do this please send an e-mail to websupport@sandiego.edu with your name and office location. Note that ITS funds up to two (2) copies of Contribute software per department. After two (2) copies it is the responsibility of the department to fund additional copies. These can be purchased via our online Adobe order form.
   
   
4. At this point you should have all the information and tools needed for working on your site. All site connection settings for departmental sites are available online or in the Contribute for Departments documentation. Note that you should use your Web account username and password which arrives to you via e-mail from Jerry Stratton when you first open your account. If you lose this information and you are one of the account's authorized contacts you can e-mail Jerry Stratton to have the password reset.
