Policy Number - 1.00

Approved: 3/18/2025

Purpose

The Kansas City Kansas Community College’s (KCKCC) website, kckcc.edu, is the primary publicfacing website for the college. The purpose of the kckcc.edu is two-fold: to market and promote the college and to provide information to the various college constituencies including prospective students, current students, and the communities that we serve. Therefore, the college must maintain a website that contains information that is accurate and up-to-date.

Scope

This policy applies to all KCKCC programs, departments, divisions, and offices.

Policy Statement

The website and all public pages accessible via the kckcc.edu domain are subject to review and approval by the Marketing and Institutional Image division. Deans, directors, program coordinators and/or administrative office heads are responsible for the information displayed in their department or divisionwebpages. They are also responsible for appointing a person(s) for training and editing/updating of their department webpages. Final page approval and publishing is the responsibility of the Marketing and Institutional Image staff. Web pages that are out of date may be removed until information is updated.

Website content must:

  • Contain current information that is relevant to and consistent with the college’s mission.
  • Adhere to college policies, regulations, rules, and guidelines.
  • Adhere to the Associated Press writing style.
  • Adhere to copyright and trademark laws and policies.
  • Not contain any personal, confidential, or illegal information.
  • According to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, all PDFs require remediation to be read by
    assistive technology before being posted to the website.

When editing webpages or specific sections of webpages, editors should be aware of what websites they are linking to and remember that some people might interpret that website to be associated or approved by KCKCC. The assigned editor is responsible for all information provided on their program webpage. Links included on the college website to outside websites are at the final discretion of Marketing and Institutional Image staff.

Website Access and Security

All website editors are responsible for taking precautions with login, passwords, and computer security to keep the KCKCC website secure from vandalism, hacking, or unauthorized edits.
