General Guidelines
Content
Content for general and divisional pages will be written and maintained by Marketing and Creative Services. Content for subdivisions, departments and units should follow the standard template and is the responsibility of the supervisor of the area (following the approval process), working with Marketing and Creative Services. Content for online class pages is the responsibility of those creators.

Web content and design are subject to the same college policies and standards as Moraine Valley's print publications. All content on the Moraine Valley Web site is periodically reviewed by the Marketing and Creative Services Department and must follow the normal approval and authorization processes. Although faculty pages do not require formal approval, content that is outdated, incorrect, of a questionable nature, or reflects poorly on the college's image will require attention of the appropriate faculty and staff, dean or vice president.

Links
The author is responsible for keeping links current. Periodically check the links on your pages to make sure they still work and are directing users to the correct site.

Copyrights
The Moraine Valley Community College Web site is copyrighted annually or when necessary to maintain the integrity of the site. Copyright ownership applies immediately when a work is put in a tangible form, even if it hasn't been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Moraine Valley reserves the right to have its copyright cover all original material that is posted on the site that may not otherwise be covered by a copyright. Faculty may refer to the faculty contract agreement regarding copyright ownership for faculty-created material.

Material on Moraine Valley's Web site is expected to comply with existing copyright laws and regulations. Individuals developing Web pages should not use works copyrighted by others unless they have permission or fall within an exception to the existing copyright laws and regulations.

Approvals
With the exception of faculty pages, all content published on the official college Web site must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate personnel in each area creating or revising Web pages and the Marketing and Creative Services Department. To assist you in the approval process, contact the Marketing and Creative Services Department at (708) 974-5276 or (708) 974-5244.

All official college information ready to go live on the Web site also is subject to the review and approval of the supervisors of your subdivision, department or unit. This includes general pages, division, subdivision, department, and unit pages. In addition, the approval of the division vice president is required. The "Request for Going Live" project folder will be used to document the final approval process.

Managing Your Web Site 
Within each division, there is one contact person per departmental Web site who maintains those pages, working with the Marketing and Creative Services Department. Faculty and online class pages are maintained by the creator.

Each department is responsible for coordinating Web page development with the Marketing and Creative Services Department, ensuring that Web pages are kept up-to-date, all links are accurate, and assuring that Web pages receive proper approval.

Departments are responsible for

• any information and links to other Web sites that reside on their Web pages
• assuring the Web site is used for Moraine Valley Community College business purposes only
• for ensuring the pages' adherence to the college's Web guidelines

Individuals with approval to maintain pages will be authorized to access the test site for development and maintenance.
