What's involved in training

About the University of Newcastle web publishing community

The University of Newcastle web publishing community is large and diverse. There are more than 400 publishers across the University responsible for creating and maintaining a variety of content on our website.

Publishers work in many different roles; for some, publishing is a significant part of their day-to-day activities, while others may only need to publish every now and then.

The Web Team works with all publishers to ensure you receive the right support and guidance when creating and maintaining your web content.

How to become a publisher

To become a web publisher you must complete the Beginner Training before being given access to the Squiz WCMS. To register for training, please fill out this form.

A few things to note:

• The Web Team does not run ad-hoc training sessions for publishers. If you require access you must fill out the form above.
• You must complete beginner training before you are given access to the site.
• Web publishers are not permitted to approve their own content. If you are a web publisher you cannot also be a web approver.
• Students are not authorised to publish content to Squiz unless they have been formally employed as a UON staff member.
