Web Access Request Checklist

 

IMPORTANT Checklist Before Filling Out the Web Access Request Form, Please Read Carefully! Submit the form if appropriate.

  • Office of Marketing Communications is currently maintaining all Smith School's official websites, including all individual websites for Academic Departments, school Offices and Centers. No Web access will be granted to those sites unless have special approval. If you do have special needs to access and maintain a subweb, please contact Office of Marketing Communications at webupdates@rhsmith.umd.edu.
  • Faculty, Ph.D Students and Student Club/Organization Contacts can still gain Web access and maintain their personal or organizational websites. Following is some related details:
    • Faculty's personal website will be located under /faculty/ directory.
    • Ph.D students' personal websites will be located under /faculty/phd/ directory (have the option to transfer the website to /faculty/ directory if appropriate).
    • Student Club websites will be located under /organizations/ web directory. More updated clubs information can be found at MBA Networth website. If you want to add your club website URL to MBA Networth Clubs page (http://mbanetworth.rhsmith.umd.edu, then Clubs), send request to helpme@rhsmith.umd.edu.
    • Everyone will be able to access your website via SharePoint Designer 2007 by default, which is similar to FrontPage 2003. While if you only have basic HTML pages, you may choose to use FrontPage 2003.
    • We are not granting users FTP access as it is not safe. If you do need FTP access, please indicate in the Comments area and provide a reason. If you already work on local website, you can copy your files and paste to the server in your Web client.
  • Students do not have personal Web sites on the Smith school's Web server. If you are a student and need a personal Web space, please contact campus OIT helpdesk or visit TerpConnect website. Here is an online document Publishing Web Pages On Your TerpConnect Account.
  • Maintaining the nice 'look and feel' of the Web site in a consistent manner is important, and therefore we would like to ask anyone requesting access to try convert their websites with the current Smith school look (it's not required though). You can send email to webupdates@rhsmith.umd.edu to request a general template.
  • If you have any other questions related to Web access, please contact Smith IT helpdesk at helpme@rhsmith.umd.edu.
    If you need training or have any questions regarding Web contents, please contact webupdates@rhsmith.umd.edu.
