Server" at no charge. Please see the Web Publishing
Procedures for instructions about setting
up your web site. Alternatively, there are
a number of other web servers on campus that are

If you are part of one of these organizations, then
you may want to have your web site hosted by the
organizational web server. Personal pages

web site will still have to meet the requirements
for publication as stated in the Web
Publishing Policies. If there
are problems with the web site, the USA Webmaster
will notify the organization webmaster via E-mail
and request the appropriate additions, changes or
deletions. Once the changes have been made,
the web site will be linked to the USA home page
in several locations.
