Forms are an essential part of university business and serve a variety of purposes. To ensure proper branding and security of data collection, all forms representing the university’s interests are to be created and implemented by the University Relations Web Services Office.
This policy outlines the different types of forms and when they should be used. Regardless of which type of form your department needs, all UMass Lowell forms are required to be consistent with the university brand.
Web Services will create web forms. External vendors (ie: wufuu, Google forms) should not be used for security reasons. Money should only be collected via authorized and approved vendors.
If you are not sure which form best meets your department’s needs, see below.
