We are conducting our annual inventory to identify inactive websites on Faculty Websites. This process helps us maintain an efficient and up-to-date platform for our community.
What You Need to Know
- Inactive websites are those that have not been updated in more than 2 years.
- Per our Terms of Use, sites inactive for over 2 years may be archived.
Contacting Site Owners of Inactive Sites
If a site has not been updated in the past 2 years, we will be contacting the site owners to see if they still want to keep the website active. If you regularly update your website, no other action is needed. Your site will be considered “active”.
We will be archiving any remaining inactive sites on or after March 31, 2025. Don’t worry, archived sites can be reactivated at any time upon request.
How to Keep Your Site Active
- Log in to your site regularly and update your content. This can be either by editing existing content and publishing the changes, or creating new content.
Questions
Why do you archive sites?
We want to make sure that the sites we host are still needed. Sites are easy to create, so sometimes people create sites and either never use them or haven’t used them in years. People also leave UCI either because they find a new job or retire. We have been running this service for 14 years. Over that time, many of the original sites have been abandoned. By archiving the inactive sites, we can help make sure the information on the websites stays up to date and relevant. We are thrilled if you want to keep using the service. We will happily keep any site active by request or simply update the content on a regular basis, and it will always stay active.
What if I’m no longer at UCI or I have retired?
Your access to editing the site is provided by your UCInetID. While you are an active employee, you should have access to your site. However, after that time, you will no longer be able to log in to make changes. We can export your site’s content upon request. Learn more about UCInetID Deletion Policies.
