Student organization websites

2009-08-17T15:34:08Z

Rrud:

Many student organizations at �鶹��Ƶ choose to maintain a [[website]] on the gustavus.edu domain.

==Obtaining access==
If you would like to have access to create or edit your organization's website, your advisor must send an [[e-mail]] to [mailto:web@gustavus.edu web@gustavus.edu] stating that you have permission to edit the website. After this e-mail has been received, [[Web Services]] will provide you with the access you need to create and edit your organization's website.

==Linking to your website==
�鶹��Ƶ maintains a public [http://gustavus.edu/orgs list of student organizations] who have completed [http://gustavus.edu/sao/organize/?pr=create the recognition process] each year. Your organization's name in the list will automatically link to your website as long as you specified one in the recognition process. You can also add this information later by [http://gustavus.edu/sao/organize/?pr=manage editing your organization].

Keep in mind you're free to host your organization's website on a 3rd party host (such as [http://sites.google.com Google Sites]), but if you wish to create a new website to be hosted on the gustavus.edu domain (<nowiki>http://gustavus.edu/orgs/</nowiki>''yourorganization''), you must [[Student_organization_websites#Obtaining_access|contact Web Services]] to find out what your exact [[URL]] will be.

==Editing your website==
While you may use any software you are comfortable with to maintain your organization's website (e.g. [[Adobe Dreamweaver]], [[TextMate]], [[Emacs]], etc.), we only support [[Adobe Contribute]] at this time. If you choose to not use Contribute, you will need to use a program that is capable of connecting to our server using the Secure FTP ([[SFTP]]) protocol (e.g. [[WinSCP]] or [[FileZilla]]).

These are the details you will need to connect to your organization's website:

{| class="striped round"
!Connection type
|Secure FTP ([[SFTP]])
|-
!Host
|ftp.gac.edu
|-
!Username
|Your [[�鶹��Ƶ username]]
|-
!Password
|Your [[�鶹��Ƶ password]]
|-
!Remote directory
|/cis/www/orgs/yourorganization/
|-
![[URL]]
|<nowiki>http://orgs.gustavus.edu/yourorganization/</nowiki>
|}

===Contribute===
To set up Contribute to maintain your organization's website, please follow these steps:

# Open Contribute.
# In the [[menu bar]], select '''Edit > My Connections'''.
# Click on the button labeled "Create..."
# A new window will pop up. Click "Next >"
# Under "What do you want to connect to?" make sure that "Website" is selected. In the box that asks "What is the web address (URL) of your website?" type in the URL to your organization's website. For your reference, this should resemble <nowiki>http://orgs.gustavus.edu/yourorganization/</nowiki>
# Click "Next >"
# Under "How do you connect to your web server?" select "Secure FTP (STFP)".
# Under "What is the name of your SFTP server?" type ftp.gac.edu
# Type your [[�鶹��Ƶ username]] and [[�鶹��Ƶ password|password]] into the other two boxes and click "Next >"
# Under "On the SFTP server, what folder contains your website?" enter "/cis/www" followed by the directory your organization's website is in. For instance, if your organization's website was located at <nowiki>http://orgs.gustavus.edu/yourorganization/</nowiki> then you should enter "/cis/www/orgs/yourorganization/".
# Click "Next >". Enter your name and email in the corresponding text boxes.
# Click "Next >". You should now see a summary window with the information you previously filled out. Click "Done" to finish.

If you are using Contribute on a lab computer, you might want to [[Adobe Contribute#Saving a connection key|save your connection key]] in your [[home directory]] to use later.

Rrud: /* Printing charges */

This article describes the �鶹��Ƶ printing policies, how to use the �鶹��Ƶ print accounting system and how to locate and install printers around campus.

==�鶹��Ƶ print accounting policy==
In the fall of 2009, �鶹��Ƶ is implementing a print policy to track and appropriately charge for printing on campus for both black and white, and color print-outs.

===Students===
Students are given '''600 "printing units"''' per academic year at no charge on all college-owned printers. One ''printing unit'' is defined as '''one side of an 8.5" X 11" page''' on a '''black and white''' printer. A single side of an 8.5" X 11" page printed on a '''color''' printer counts as '''4 units'''.

Any printing that exceeds the initial 600 units will be charged to the student at a rate of '''$0.05 per printing unit'''. This equates to $0.05 per side on a black and white printer, and $0.20 per side on a color printer. Unused printing units will not carry over to a subsequent year.

After using their free printing units, users will need to log in to [http://print.gac.edu print.gac.edu] and authorize their student account to be billed at the end of the month for the dollar amount they select. For more information see [[#Adding_funds_to_your_account|Adding funds to your account.]]

===Faculty, staff, and departments===
Faculty and staff are encouraged to use their departmental printers. Non-departmental printers may be used, but printouts will be charged against departmental accounts. '''Faculty and staff should not add funds to their account manually.''' Instead the department will receive a bill at the end of each month for payment.

===Non-�鶹��Ƶ users===
Non-�鶹��Ƶ users may print on the public printers in the library. Individuals will need to register a username and password for their account and purchase a prepaid card from the library staff. More information can be found at [[Guest_printing|Guest printing]]

===Printing charges===
The summary of print charges (per '''side''') is as follows:
{| class="round striped sortable"
! Paper size
! Type of printing
! Charge
|-

Rrud: /* Printing charges */

This article describes the �鶹��Ƶ printing policies, how to use the �鶹��Ƶ print accounting system and how to locate and install printers around campus.

==�鶹��Ƶ print accounting policy==
In the fall of 2009, �鶹��Ƶ is implementing a print policy to track and appropriately charge for printing on campus for both black and white, and color print-outs.

===Students===
Students are given '''600 "printing units"''' per academic year at no charge on all college-owned printers. One ''printing unit'' is defined as '''one side of an 8.5" X 11" page''' on a '''black and white''' printer. A single side of an 8.5" X 11" page printed on a '''color''' printer counts as '''4 units'''.

Any printing that exceeds the initial 600 units will be charged to the student at a rate of '''$0.05 per printing unit'''. This equates to $0.05 per side on a black and white printer, and $0.20 per side on a color printer. Unused printing units will not carry over to a subsequent year.

After using their free printing units, users will need to log in to [http://print.gac.edu print.gac.edu] and authorize their student account to be billed at the end of the month for the dollar amount they select. For more information see [[#Adding_funds_to_your_account|Adding funds to your account.]]

===Faculty, staff, and departments===
Faculty and staff are encouraged to use their departmental printers. Non-departmental printers may be used, but printouts will be charged against departmental accounts. '''Faculty and staff should not add funds to their account manually.''' Instead the department will receive a bill at the end of each month for payment.

===Non-�鶹��Ƶ users===
Non-�鶹��Ƶ users may print on the public printers in the library. Individuals will need to register a username and password for their account and purchase a prepaid card from the library staff. More information can be found at [[Guest_printing|Guest printing]]

===Printing charges===
The summary of print charges is as follows:
{| class="round striped sortable"
! Paper size
! Type of printing
! Charge
|-
|8.5" X 11"||Black and White||1 unit/$0.05
|-
|8.5" X 11"||Color||4 units/$0.20
|-
|11" x 17"||Black and White||2 units/$0.10
|-
|11" x 17"||Color ||8 units/$0.40
