Lynchburg College World Wide Web Policy (Draft)

The Lynchburg College website is an important marketing tool and means of communicating with the College’s internal and external constituents. Therefore, information posted on the website must be currently accurate and appropriate for its users. As the College’s online publication, the website must adhere to the College’s official publications policy and style. Oversight of the Lynchburg College website is the responsibility of the webmaster who determines requirements and guidelines for the website.

Authority over Web Materials

On behalf of the College, the webmaster reserves the right to remove, for any reason, material from the web server owned by the College or web servers which use College-owned technology resources. Similarly, the College reserves the right to regulate and limit the use of web materials which use College resources including the network itself. Such limitations may include, but are not limited to, restrictions on resources such as disk space, material content, and location of information.

Procedure for Establishing Web Pages on the Lynchburg College Website (only applies to the official College Website)

  1. Contact your department head for authorization to work on the pages.  Have your department head send your name to the webmaster as a content editor.
  2. Complete training on the use of the College's web content management system. 

If you have questions about the above, or have completed training and need further assistance, contact the webmaster or the coordinator of Technology Training.
