A. Students 

Students and registered student organizations may establish a Web Account by 

contacting UCSC Academic Computing Services (ACS). Accounts are subject to ACS 

Usage Guidelines.  

B. Units 

Each unit at UCSC may create UCSC Web Sites. UCSC Web Sites created by or within 

a Unit shall be updated and maintained by the Unit or a Web Site Author within the 

Unit.  

1. 

ACS provides Web Accounts and associated services for Units on a recharge 

basis. Accounts are subject to ACS Usage Guidelines.  

2. 

Each Unit may create one or more Official UCSC Web Sites. Other UCSC Web 

Sites may be created and maintained which contain UCSC information but 

which are not designated as Official UCSC Web Sites. Although not registered 

as Official UCSC Web Sites, some UCSC Web Sites, such as course Web Sites, 

may in some cases be legally considered to be University business subject to 

the UCSC student records policy (PPM 160 2), the California Public Records 

Act, the Federal Copyright Act, this UCSC Policy and other applicable laws and 

University policies.  

3. 

Subject to Section VI.C., server space for Personal Web Sites may be provided 

by a Unit in the discretion of its Authorizing Party. A Unit may establish 

additional policies and guidelines governing the content and style of Personal 

Web Sites under its jurisdiction, including the right to terminate such Sites on 

grounds other than as provided in this Policy.  

C.  Identification  

Each UCSC Web Site must display information disclosing the identity of the Web Site 

Author, including a contact name with email address. If the Site consists of more than 

one page, such information must appear on at least one page (preferably the main 

page) of the Site. Web Site Authors shall not employ a false identity (the name or 

electronic identification of another), but may use a pseudonym (an alternative name 

for oneself) so long as the pseudonym clearly does not constitute a false identity. 

Pseudonyms and anonymous communications are permissible as provided in the UC 

Electronic Communications Policy.  

D.  Agreement to Terms of Use  

Each Web Site Author and Webmaster is bound by the terms of this UCSC Policy that 

will be posted on InfoPath. Systems Administrators should electronically communicate 

the URL for this Policy to Web Site Authors and Webmasters periodically. However, 

any failure to so communicate will not affect the application of this Policy to each Web 

Site Author and Webmaster.
