Copyright
Information accessible from the Web page must not infringe copyright. Any material provided must be original, must be in the public domain, or you must obtain written permission from the copyright holder to provide the material on the website.  This copyright permission must be stated on your site.  Protect your original material by including copyright symbols in your documents.

Content requirements 
The top level page of your website must include:

• the full name of the person responsible for the page
• an @washburn.edu email address for the person responsible for the page

Each page of your Web site must have a descriptive title (using the <TITLE> tag) that includes the name Washburn University.

If there is content on your Web site that is date or time specific, it must be kept current.

If your site is within the Content Management System, the university webmaster will work with you on navigation and implementation within the university web design template.

Accessibility
Each page of your Web site must meet ADA compliance standards for access by persons with disabilities. In particular, each page must meet the accessibility standards indicated in Washburn University Official Web Sites--Accessibility and Quality Checklist.
