External-facing websites

UBC CMS

UBC content management system (CMS) is available to all faculty and staff within Arts and leverages the UBC Common Look and Feel (CLF).

Arts CMS 

Arts content management system (CMS) is available to Arts departments, but requires support from Arts ISIT and Arts Service Centre – Communications to set up. All larger Arts units have now been migrated to Arts CMS, and there is currently a waitlist for creating new Arts CMS sites that is managed by Arts Service Centre – Communications.

Internal-facing websites

Arts Internal Resources 

Arts Internal Resources (AIR) is a secure site available to all units within Arts to host internal-facing content and forms. Access can be restricted to specific individuals or roles and requires campus-wide login (CWL) for authentication. We recommend units use AIR as their central knowledge base.
