Server Access

For information on configuring your client to access your student Web site, please visit the documentation.

While there is no established limit to how much space you can use on this web server, files must be directly related to your organization and should be currently included on your site. If you wish to include multimedia, such as audio or video files (QuickTime, AVI, MPEG, RealAudio, etc.), it's a good idea to consult with the Emory Center for Interactive Teaching (ECIT) beforehand. They can assist with issues concerning copyright, file size, and compression, as well as provide resources and support digitizing and creating digital media.

Requesting the Website

To request an account and directory, send email to studentweb@emory.edu and include the following information:

• Proposed Name of Web Directory (don't use spaces in between words)

• Network ID of the Website Owner(i.e. your login id, the part of your Emory email address that is in front of @emory.edu)
  
• Preferred Email Address of Website Owner
  
• Full Name of Organization
  
• Full Name of the Organization's Faculty or Staff Advisor
  
• Email Address of the Organization's Faculty or Staff Advisor

• Email Address of Organization President

Linking the Website
