Website support

Rausser College’s web team is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the college website, departmental websites, and special program/project sites. Contact rcnrweb@berkeley.edu with questions.

Profiles on departmental websites

All faculty, graduate students, and staff should have a profile on their departmental website. Contact your department administrator for information on how to make edits to your profile. 

Faculty websites

Rausser College no longer provides custom hosting for faculty websites. Options include:

  • Open Berkeley. UC Berkeley’s turnkey web platform solution that provides campus employees with no prior web experience a powerful toolset to easily build sophisticated websites that are secure and accessible. Open Berkeley is available for a setup fee (~$328) and monthly support fee. Open Berkeley customers have found our campus rate to be significantly less expensive than what vendors quote them for ongoing security updates, maintenance, and support. For a 2-minute video on Open Berkeley, visit open.berkeley.edu

  • Drupal and Wordpress websites. Campus hosting for custom web projects is available from Pantheon

Course websites

The College is unable to support the creation of individual course websites. For internal course websites, use bCourses, the official Learning Management System for Berkeley.

Web accessibility guidelines and requirements

Rausser College and UC Berkeley are committed to ensuring that all websites, tools, and technologies are designed so everyone—including people with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor disabilities—can engage with our content, programs, and services. Whether it is hosted on a berkeley.edu domain or not, your web presences related to UC Berkeley must comply with UC systemwide and federal policies.
