Ensemble CMS Site Request Form

Ensemble CMS is the Web content management system for Virginia Tech. It allows website contributors to update their Web content without worrying about the technical details of creating, editing, and maintaining websites.

Any college, department, or administrative unit may use Ensemble CMS. To get started, fill out the form below to request an Ensemble CMS website.

The system is not available for use by student organizations, or for personal or course websites. Course web developers needing the functionality of Ensemble CMS are encouraged to use Blackboard, the university's course management system.

All requests for an Ensemble CMS site are processed in the order they are received. Learn more about how the migration order is determined.

Network Liaison -- this is the person who works with CNS to register IP addresses and domain/computer names within a department. This person will need to help in the transaction to move the web site name (i.e., http://www.unirel.vt.edu) from its current location to the CMS. If the site is on the Hosting server, we will need to know that also -- this can be related in the planning meeting.
