Header
The header of a website is the easiest way to create a consistent experience across all websites. The simple header is intended to be used in conjunction with existing header navigation and layout.
Footer
The global web footer provides visual consistency across all UGA websites. Users can easily navigate to key university-level pages from all UGA websites. The footer includes several required links to help maintain consistency but is also flexible to accommodate specific website goals. Similar to the header, the footer can be appended after any existing site-specific footer on your website.
Required Links
Privacy Policy
A link to the EITS Privacy Policy is required on all websites.
Student Complaints
Units categorized as a functional area are required to link to the Student Complaint Portal in compliance with the Procedures for Written Student Complaints policy.
These functional areas may choose to include this link in this footer or elsewhere on their website.
Human Trafficking Notice
According to Georgia Code Section 16-5-47, a link to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Human Trafficking Notice is required on the homepage of government entities. This link is only required on the university homepage.
Ethics Reporting Hotline
USG Policy 16.5.8 requires the UGA Hotline Reporting System be linked on the University’s homepage or other prominent location accessible by employees, students, and the public. This link is only required on the university homepage.
Additional Text Links
Individual sites can append up to three additional links in the footer. These should retain the existing format.
Social Media Icons and Links
These icons should link to the official University of Georgia accounts. Site-specific social media links can be included in a separate site-specific footer or elsewhere on the site, such as the header.
