The Marketing and Communications Office offers and supports a feature-rich Drupal 10 website template that mirrors current industry standards, as well as the university’s main site. All other campus templates—some upwards of 13 years old—are in Drupal 7. Due to discontinued support, we must depreciate all Drupal 7 template sites by October 1, 2025.

Many campus sites have already adopted the new template. Samples include the Television and Film Arts; Elementary Education, Literacy, and Educational Leadership; and Music departments. Marketing and Communications has been assisting and will continue to directly assist academic departments by moving them into the new framework. Please file a ticket to initiate migration to the new template.

If an office, center, area, or initiative still using a Drupal 7 template wants to move to the new look, that migration must be done manually. An alternative to moving is to shut down an outdated, unused, or low-traffic Drupal 7 site. If you wish to shut down a site, please file a ticket. Sites that are not migrated will automatically be shut down once Drupal 7 is sunsetted by our web host.

Because we support campus users with any transition to a new product, Drupal 10 training is required and provided virtually by Dan Schmidt, associate director of web development. Details are discussed during the ticket process.

Questions about the migration process or the new template may be directed to Melissa Meehan, web director, Marketing and Communications.
