Sponsored Accounts
Sponsored accounts are provided (for a fee) to individuals who are NOT students or employees of the University or its auxiliaries. For a complete definition of a Sponsored Account and who they are intended for, please refer to the Sponsored Accounts Web page.
Note: If a Web site that is to be published through a Sponsored Account is considered an "official Web page" then it must conform to current Cal Poly standards and guidelines as outlined in the Style Requirements section including Web Accessibility compliance. In this case, the Cal Poly Web template should be used.
Getting a Sponsored Account
Because of the uniqueness and funding requirement for a Sponsored Account, please come by the ITS Service Desk in building 14 room 114, or call 756-7000 for assistance in obtaining an account.
