[bracketed information is explanatory and not a part of the policy]

The GCC Web Page will have consistent design and color (look and feel) for the home page, menu pages, and title pages.  The Department of Communications, Marketing & Foundation will monitor the look and feel of:  the home page, menu pages (pages containing a list of departments, programs, services, and/or personnel) and title pages (pages where a department, program or service is introduced---however, the content of title pages is discretionary).  Below the level of menu or title pages, the design will be at the discretion of the owner of the page, within the guidelines established by the Using Information Technology Resources at Glendale Community College.  For example, discretionary pages include the Academic Senate, the Guild, CSEA, and faculty/staff pages.

The District will work cooperatively with faculty and staff to assure that, at a minimum, all pages meet the legal requirements for accessibility by students with disabilities and will also endeavor to follow best practices for web page accessibility.  [For example, see Priority 1 requirements of the WWW Accessibility Initiative Guidelines at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/full-checklist.html]  When pages are found to be inaccessible for students with disabilities, an alternative format will be provided to ensure that they are not denied access to information.

The Web Oversight Committee has been established to perform the following mission:

The Web Oversight Committee (WOC) reviews the current and future state of GCC’s web presence and makes recommendations for plans, policies and procedures to the Campus Executive Committee for use and implementation of the College’s web site with the goal of projecting an image of GCC as a leader in higher education. [It is recommended that this committee consist of representatives of students, Senate, Guild, CSEA, and Administration, with care taken to include members who have technical expertise, marketing experience, or heavy use of the Web.]
