Affiliated Web Page Policies
Affiliated web pages are independently designed and developed web presences established for select Buffalo State programs and facilities. They may or may not be included within the institution's Content Management System (CMS). Regardless of where they are hosted, as official representations of Buffalo State, they must adhere to campus web page policies and accessibility standards.
Vendor-created site designs must be approved in advance by Marketing and Communications before it can be included within the campus installation of Drupal. Please consult with us early in your process.
