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 using official university tools administered by Web Services Office or Information Technology.
This policy outlines the different types of forms, when they should be used and how to obtain them. Regardless of which type of form your department needs, all UMass Lowell forms are required to be consistent with the university brand.
Web Services creates certain types of 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.
