U-CAN Data Entry Guidelines for 2011-12

for Template Elements

Updated November 2011 (For use in updating U-CAN profiles for 2011-12)

For additional help with data entry or other questions, contact the U-CAN staff by e-mailing ucan@naicu.edu.

Use the Print button, above right, to print a hard copy of these guidelines. You can also print either a Microsoft Word version or a PDF version of all data entry elements.

Section 1: About Our Institution

I. "About (Institution)" - Narrative

Enter a brief description (75 words maximum) of your institution, emphasizing its distinctive qualities, mission, character, setting, etc. This introduction will appear prominently at the top of your U-CAN profile, so it's important, in this narrative, to create an informative overview of the most distinguishing features about your institution - academic programs, location, students, faculty, campus, etc.

Note: Some users of Microsoft Word have discovered unusual characters when they copy and paste their narratives into the system. This can be prevented by saving your MS Word document as Rich Text (rtf) and copying and pasting from that format.

II. "What Makes Us Special" - Link

This is a link of your choice to a page on your institution's website. Some institutions have created special landing pages for this link, while others link to an appropriate page in the "About" section of their website, such as their Mission Statement. An alternative would be to link to your institution's home page.

III. Footer information - Text

The information appears in the blue bar at the very bottom of your published U-CAN profile. The listed URL should take visitors to your institution's home page.

Note: Your institution logo appears at the very bottom of the U-CAN profile. You will upload the logo as the last item in Section 6 of the template: "About Campus Life."
