Alumnae Group Website Guidelines

Getting Started | Requirements | Site Options | Privacy & Copyright | Design & Content

Requirements for Class and Club Web Sites
Alumnae groups who would like the Alumnae Association to link to their web pages must follow these guidelines. All websites, whether hosted by the college or through a separate hosting service, must meet these requirements:

  • The home page must clearly identify your group and its relationship to the Wellesley College Alumnae Association.
  • Websites should be scheduled for regular maintenance (at least quarterly, although monthly is preferred) to keep information current and to update links.
  • All content on the web site must reflect positively on the Alumnae Association, Wellesley College, and the alumnae group that owns it.
  • Your Wellesley club or class site should be used for club or class purposes ONLY. Advertising club and class events and merchandise is an appropriate use for your site. Using your club or class site for non-Wellesley business purposes is inappropriate.
  • Affiliates programs are allowed on Wellesley club and class sites, but only with the expressed permission of the officers of the club or class in question.
  • All content on the web site must conform to copyright law.
  • Alumnae email addresses may only be listed with the express permission of the alumna.
  • No alumnae contact information other than email addresses (including home or business addresses or phone numbers) may be listed on any public page. *

In addition, websites not hosted by the college must meet the following requirements:

  • Each page must be linked back to your home page.
  • A webmaster must be identified on each page along with a contact address or e-mail link and date of the last update.
  • The home page must have a disclaimer which states, "The Wellesley College Alumnae Association and Wellesley College are not responsible for the design or content of these web pages. They are the sole property and responsibility of the alumnae who host and maintain this web site. "

* If you need to provide contact information for an alumna other than an email address, you may refer site visitors to the online directory. You may also speak to the Alumnae Association about setting up a special, password-protected page for sensitive information. Chapter pages are exempt from this requirement because they are behind authentication; however, webmistresses should obtain permission from any alumna before publishing her contact information.

The Alumnae Office, the Alumnae Association, and Wellesley College assume no responsibility for the content of web pages hosted and maintained by alumnae groups. The Alumnae Office and the Alumnae Association reserve the right to deny access or remove any link on the Alumnae Association web site to web sites maintained by groups which do not follow the guidelines listed above.

If you have any questions about the suitability of the content on your web site, please contact the Alumnae Office tech admin at 781-283-2143 or techadmin@alum.wellesley.edu to discuss it.
