What responsibilities do we have, as web space holders on ASE?

You are responsible for:

• Adding or modifying the content of your organization's directory.
• Ensuring that organizational pages are published according to University guidelines for content and format and adhere to the guidelines in the Responsible Use Policy.
• Coordinating decision-making for the content and layout of your organization's web pages.
• Establishing an update cycle and responsibility for maintaining current information.
• Responding promptly to email and other inquiries related to your organization's Web pages.
• Assigning Student Web Masters/Authors to help with the site's content and maintenance.

What limitations do we have?

Size limitation: 200 MB
Content: if questionable content is found on your site, you will be asked to remove it
Scripting: no scripting other than ASP using either Jscript or VBScript. Also, use of parent paths (i.e. "../includes/include.asp") is not allowed. Please use relative pathing to avoid this.
Databases: the only supported database for student organizations is Microsoft Access via ADO. All Access files must reside on the web server (i.e. cannot be accessed from a mapped drive). If you are planning to use Access and ADO, please email us so we can assist you in setting up the correct file permissions for your database.
