Drupal Request Form

Before you request a new site, please be aware:

1. The underlying Drupal software version our system relies on is scheduled to hit end-of-life in November 2023.
   
   While there is no comparable replacement available through the university at this time, please carefully consider the time investment required to start new projects in Cal Poly's Drupal environment before proceeding with a new site request.

2. Support for Cal Poly's Drupal system is still provided via tickets submitted to the Support Center. Direct communication support (such as Zoom, phone, or in-person) is not available.

3. Cal Poly is attempting to limit "subdomain sprawl" because a wide proliferation of small sites is detrimental to an organization's web presence. For questions or guidance about this issue and SEO at Cal Poly, contact the University Marketing team via web-comms@calpoly.edu.

4. With all of the above in mind, any new site requests are expected to provide sufficient context to demonstrate both the necessity of the site as a standalone entity (meaning it cannot be hosted as a section of the parent unit's site) and an understanding of the approaching software EOL.

If you would like more information on the process behind provisioning and migrating sites, please refer to our Drupal Site Process page.

Cal Poly strives to ensure campus information and communication technology is accessible, secure and reliable to student, employee, and community audiences.
