Policy Information
Who is eligible?
UT faculty, staff, and students may request a community organization.
How does one request that an organization be created?
The person who will manage the organization can fill out the Request
Community Organization (requires UT EID) form, providing organization and manager information,
determining public availability, and selecting color display options.
The manager must have a valid UT EID. Requests from student organizations
must be made by a recognized student organization representative.
Can Non-UT folks request an organization?
No.
Who will handle those requests and how?
Staff in the Office of the University Webmaster will process these
requests and send notification to the requestor when the organization
has been created (or if the organization couldn't be created, stating
why not). If the organization was created, then the notification will
also include information on using and accessing the organization's site
within Blackboard.
How long does the organization stay active? What is its expiration
date?
Departmental organizations (UT academic departments, research centers,
and administrative units) will stay active for one year, at the end of
the year, managers will be notified and asked if they want the organization
to remain active.

at the end of the semester, managers will be notified and asked if they
want the organization to remain active.
What if an organization is created and not used? What is the inactive
period before removal?
If an organization is inactive for one month, the manager will be notified
and asked if they want the organization to remain active. |
