University Websites Standards and Guidelines

The University Websites Standards and Guidelines establishes certain requirements and best practices for managing university websites on the osu.edu (excluding u.osu.edu sites), ohio-state.edu, and osumc.edu domains to support the implementation of the University Websites policy.

These standards and guidelines aim to (1) promote the use of the web to enhance university brand awareness, engage audiences, prompt action, advocate in favor of the university’s mission, and support administrative functions and student life activities; and (2) ensure that Ohio State consistently safeguards its data, resources, brand, and reputation, and complies with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations.
