You MUST provide URL information for us to process your request. Copy and paste the URL(s) where your edits need to be made into the spaces provided on the form. 

If uploading Word documents, each document MUST provide URL information for us to process your request. Cite the relevant URL(s) within your document and then provide your requested edits. 

We upload PDFs and other documents only when necessary.

Documents on public websites should be accessible to individuals who rely on screen readers due to visual impairments. In accordance with the UC IT Accessibility Policy, we highly recommend publishing content in accessible webpage formats rather than documents whenever possible.

Please contact the Digital Communications team at somweb@hs.uci.edu if you would like help determining if posting a PDF on the website is appropriate. 

If it is necessary to add a document to our websites, ensure that it is accessible and provide the accessible document to us. Please refer to the resources below to learn how to create accessible documents.

Provide your complex and/or extensive changes as attached Word documents. In each Word document you upload, you MUST provide URL information for us to process your request. Cite the relevant URL(s) within your document and then provide your requested edits. 

Proofread your content carefully, as accuracy is the requester's responsibility.

Use the Image & Document Uploads: section of the form to upload your document(s). 

Submission Tips

• Less is more. Avoid overly formatting your copy. Use one font and only use bold and italic functions.
• Avoid setting tabs, using bullets or lists, making tables, designing or using templated headers or footers, or using page numbers. Extra formatting increases the time it takes to get your copy on the website.
• You may share a formatted document to help us understand your requests, but also submit a clean copy as specified above.

• Photos should be high-resolution JPG and/or PNG files of at least 72 ppi and 5x5".
• Images must be uploaded as separate attachments. We cannot extract images from documents.
• Avoid using images containing text (logos are acceptable).
• Name photo files with meaningful names. See the examples below.
