Go to the download page for 960 and 760 pixel width templates, graphic headers, and the U's favicon.

760 pixel headers and footers

For units that would like to continue to use the 760 pixel wide header and footer, there are three options available. Two CSS versions, one centered and one left-aligned, and a table version. University Relations will no longer supply full template code for the 760 width.

Web templates and U identity

The 2009 Web template update is part of an initiative to better brand the University's many Web sites. New requirements for University Web identity are on the horizon—plans for all site redesigns should include the new templates.
