• Direct URL of where the issue/request can be seen
• Steps to replicate (if applicable)
• Screenshot(s)
• If requesting updates to photos or other media, provide the files separately as high-resolution files with meaningful file names.

Email questions to somweb@hs.uci.edu.

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 published on public websites should be accessible to individuals who use screen readers due to visual impairments. In line with the UC IT Accessibility Policy, we strongly recommend presenting content in accessible web page formats instead of documents whenever possible.

Please refer to the School of Medicine Digital Accessibility Resources page for more detailed guidance on whether it is appropriate to add a PDF or another type of document to your website and for resources on creating 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.

The Digital Communications team will review requests to add videos to the School of Medicine website on a case-by-case basis. Questions to consider before submitting a video web edit request include:

• Does this video provide value and significance to the page/overall program?
• Who is the intended audience?
• What messages or key takeaways are you hoping a site visitor will gain from watching the video?

Requirements for uploading a video to the website:

• Videos must be hosted on external platforms like YouTube or Vimeo.
• Videos must meet accessibility standards and contain captions.
  • Please refer to our Digital Accessibility Resources page for more information about making videos accessible and adding captions.
