Getting a website for your student group
To get webspace for your student group, all you need to do is get an account at
the OCF in the name of your group.
Getting an account on the OCF server is pretty easy.
When you create your group's account, you will need to bring
one
of the following documents, along with your filled-out account form, to a
member of the OCF staff.
- A verification printout of complete OSL registration, for groups
recognized by the Office of Student Life. (If the applicant is not
a group signatory, she will need a signed letter of permission from
one of the signatories to create the account). OR
- Letter on departmental letterhead(*) verifying departmental
recognition of the group and supporting their request for
a group account
and supporting that the person making the request for the group
account is authorized to make that request.
, OR
- Sufficient documentation to estabilish that the group has been
recognized by the Chancellor as a support
organization
and that the person making the request for the group
account is authorized to make that request.
* All letters supporting an account should be on appropriate
letterhead, must signed by someone other than the
account applicant, and should include contact information for the
person signing the letter for verification purposes.
Once you've prepared the paperwork, check the
staff
schedule to see when a staff member is available.
Once you have chosen a time, you will need to bring your university
identification and a picture ID, if your identification does not have a
picture on it.
The OCF staff member will ask you to fill out a form, which includes our user
policy. Please make sure to read this policy carefully. You can also fill
out this form beforehand by downloading and printing it, saving yourself
some time. (see the top of this page for a link to the form)
After approving your account and verifying your status, the staff
member will then ask you to input an interim password into the account
queue. Your password should be 6-8 characters, letters and numbers,
and mixed case. After your account is created, please change your
password.
Account creation is a two-step process, and hence, in less than a week
your account should be created and usable.
