Getting started with Umbraco
Umbraco is a content management system that allows web editors across the University to update content on the UniSC website. Web editors and coordinators are nominated by their cost centre manager.
It is the web editor and coordinator’s responsibility to ensure their pages are updated regularly. Regularly updated websites have improved rankings with external search engines such as Google. Current and accurate website content also improves UniSC’s credibility.
