Before you begin to use these instructions, read the Summary for Creating Student Organization Web Pages for an overview of the process and for important information on web page creation software.

Student organizations, with proper authorization, can publish web pages that can be linked from the UD Registered Student Organizations home page.

Note: All student organizations must complete the Application for Registered Student Organization Home Page every fall.

Before requesting authorization, read Use of Computing Resources for Home Pages and Guidelines for Student Home Pages. Then, fill out an application for a Home Page for your organization by choosing the appropriate link link below:

Registered Student Organization
Fraternity or Sorority
Departmental Student Organization
Graduate Student Organization
Club Sports
Complex Community Councils and Special Interest Houses

Once authorization is granted, allow four days for your organization's home page directory to be ready for use. To check whether your directory has been created, log on to Copland and type

     cd ~www/docs/stu-org
     ls 

This command produces an alphabetical list of student organization web directories. When your directory is ready, you can make your web files available to anyone with a web browser. You will need to create and publish your web page files, then request a review of your page. Once your page is approved, you can request that it be linked  from the Student Organizations' home page.

1. At times, you may need to access your web directory on Copland to work with your files. You can create a link that will allow you to change to your student organization directory using the UNIX "cd" command.  Log on to Copland and create a link to your group directory.
2. Create your HTML files and publish them in your organization's home directory. Name your home page index.html.
3. Request a review of your page. After the review is concluded and any requested changes have been made, request a link from the UD Activities and Programs Office. Be sure to include your organization's name and the URL of your page.
