Getting Access to Edit Your Department Website

New User Access

Only authorized Stanislaus State employees, including student employees, may receive editing access. Authorization must come from the department director or chair.

To request access to edit a department website, all new users must complete the OIT Security Request Form.

  • The form is only accessible on campus or through a VPN.
  • Student employees must use their student email address (not a generic account).
  • For any questions or issues with the form, contact vsalisbury@csustan.edu.

Once your security form is approved, you will be eligible to begin training. Access to edit is granted only after completing training.

Training

Before you can begin editing:

  • Email webupdate@csustan.edu to schedule your required website training session once the OIT Security Request is approved.
  • Website trainings are held twice a month.

Requesting Access to a Different Department

If you already have access to one department’s site and need access to another:

  • Email webupdate@csustan.edu.
  • Include the name(s) of the department(s) to which you need access.
  • Let us know if you should be removed from access to a previous department site.

Website Editing Guide

Please review our editing guide before making any changes:

  • The guide is a live, web-based document (not available for download).
  • It includes tips, instructions, and video tutorials that are updated regularly.
  • We strongly recommend you bookmark the guide for easy access.

Website Accessibility

Web accessibility ensures that our web content can be accessed by everyone, including users who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers. At Stanislaus State, we’re committed to making our website clear, easy to navigate, and accessible to all. At Stan State, our campus follows best practices from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), Section 508, and ADA Title II.

By designing with accessibility in mind, we can help lessen the barriers to information while promoting inclusivity.
