As stated in UPPS No. 04.01.06, section 07.06, “Third-party companies hired to work on websites in the CMS must be approved by the committee." The Web Governance Committee consists of the AVP for University Marketing, the CISO, the Director of Mobile/Web Systems, and the EIRAC. Signatures from each member of the committee must be collected before access can be granted.

Additionally, this user must be sponsored in order to receive a Net ID. This Net ID is required for access to both the CMS as well as the online training.

Request authorization from the Web Governance Committee. (Consider opening this link in a new tab in order to not lose your work on this form.)

Can you confirm that UPPS was followed in collecting approval from the Web Governance Committee? *
