Requirements for Unofficial Web Sites
- Developers of unofficial sites are not permitted to use the official COE templates
and must be clearly distinguishable from official COE sites in design and presentation.
Contact Engineering Communications and Marketing to find out if standardized unofficial
templates may be available for use by faculty, students, staff and student organizations.
- Any unofficial site hosted on COE servers must clearly indicate that it is unofficial.
The approved disclaimer for an unofficial site's home page is as follows:
"This site is hosted on COE servers, but is not an official COE Web site. The
material on this site is not officially approved, licensed, sponsored or endorsed
by the COE. The COE assumes no express or implied responsibility for any component
of this site, including content, presentation, usability, accessibility, accuracy
or timeliness, nor of any links directed from this site. For information about
this Web site, please contact [a representative of the group or organization]."
- All files within an organization's Web site directory on the COE servers must
be directly and currently a part of the organization's Web site. Personal files
are prohibited in an organization's directory. True personal content should be
placed in directories under individual userids on the Auburn University-Office
of Information Technology or the COE servers. Temporary work-related content such
as class-related materials should be stored in WebCT or in the department's directory
dedicated to classes on the COE servers.
