Compliance With These Policies

Because these policies have undergone significant changes, the Web Policy Committee, Marketing & Communications and the Web Development Office (WDO) have established the following phased implementation schedule that will provide time for all WPI pages to come into full compliance. These groups have compiled a list of priorities that will guide the community toward complete compliance by December 31, 2005. Questions about the policies and the compliance plan should be directed to webcom@wpi.edu.

Please note that the implementation schedule is subject to change - previously, dates were published as part of the list, but due to unexpected delays, those dates have been removed. To see what took place in 2002, see Phase I below.

Note: This priority list will be used to determine the schedule for site redesigns only; departments, programs, offices, and individuals are encouraged to update your site with new pages or edit existing content at any time. Also, departments may not be launched in the order in which their projects are initiated.
