Academic Enterprise Sites

The Academic Enterprise is a very large group of websites and essentially includes all miami.edu Websites that support the academic mission of the University. The University offers Cascade CMS as a tool to assist some of these University areas creating content supporting their efforts.

The "Academic Core/Academic Enterprise" includes:

  • All student lifecycle sites, including, but not limited to, Student Affairs, Commencement, and Alumni sites.
  • All colleges and schools and their sub-departments
  • All administrative areas
  • All fundraising support and campaign sites not handled by the services managed by the Division of University Advancement
  • Most research sites
  • Tactical sites such as people search, news and events content, and other stand-alone initiatives
  • "My" sites that are similar to public-facing sites but are authentication-required and set up for the University's largest internal constituencies, supporting specific administrative areas.

Cascade CMS and the Academic Enterprise

The Web and Digital team's Cascade CMS does not support the following types of sites, that are, nonetheless, part of the academic enterprise:

  • Student organizations and club sites (which are handled via Student Affairs)
  • Faculty websites that are not People Profile pages. Usually faculty websites are not supported in Cascade CMS unless they are associated with specific laboratories, centers, or institutes and fall under the supervision of portfolio managers for a given area.

If you are interested in receiving access to Cascade CMS, visit our Training page for more information for more information.
