The ability to create web pages is provided to all students, faculty, staff, and departments.
If a student, faculty, or staff would like to create a personal web page, he/she needs to contact the Help Desk. Once the request is received, a directory is created on the Meyerhoff system that hosts the college’s web pages. Web pages, images, documents, and files can be stored in this directory to create a personal web page.
Departments who are interested in creating and maintaining a web page should contact the Webmaster (at webmaster@goucher.edu or 410.337.6527).
Anyone requesting web space must follow the appropriate use guidelines that can be found in the Computer Use Policy. Click here to review this policy.

Web addresses for the following groups will be:
Faculty: http://faculty.goucher.edu/<username>
Staff: http://staff.goucher.edu/<username>
