As one of the primary information gateways to and about the university, the website is critical in extending and enforcing the university brand in online spaces.
Consistent guidelines are necessary in order to build widespread public awareness of ºÚÁÏÍø's high-quality academic programs and services (promote the university's brand identity) and to ensure those visiting ºÚÁÏÍø through its website can easily find the appropriate resources. Standards are necessary not only to reinforce the ºÚÁÏÍø brand, but to ensure a consistent and high-quality user experience.
