Web Standards

Note: Updated brand assets for UO websites will be available in early 2027. Once available, they will be integrated into the Cosmic theme of Drupal and Wordpress.

Our web presence is the university’s digital front door. We are committed to taking an inclusive and welcoming user-centered approach that provides maximum utility for our various audiences while maintaining a consistent experience across all University of Oregon websites.

We also have a philosophical commitment—and a legal obligation—to provide accessible websites that comply with federal and state requirements.
