Requesting Sites

SJSU employees can request a site on the sjsu.edu domain. The request is reviewed by the Web Operations Group. If approved, IT provisions the site and grants access to the requestor.

Every request for a website or a blog on the official university domain sjsu.edu must meet the following criteria:
