The CMS Workspace

Accessing the CMS

The campus CMS is a web-based application; you'll access it through an Internet browser. We have found that our CMS runs more consistently when using Mozilla Firefox as your browser; we advise against using Internet Explorer or Safari to run the CMS. You can download Mozilla Firefox at no charge. Once your content outline or sitemap has been approved and your site has been set up, you can access the CMS.

Once You Have Logged In

Once you have logged in, the first step in using the CMS is to acquaint yourself with the Dashboard and the Workspace and Tabs.
