| Dear UTA Students,
For many of you, the path to becoming a Maverick began with a visit to www.uta.edu. Soon, you will see significant changes to the UTA website. We are currently modernizing the design and infrastructure of the website to improve the user experience and better reflect the first-class learning and research taking place at the University.
New Website and Timeline
The web modernization project will move in phases, with the first wave of departments migrating to the new uta.edu at the end of this summer. You will begin to notice changes to this first set of sites on the following dates:
Website Improvements
A more modern design, improved navigation, mobile responsiveness, enhanced search, and other functionality were some of the many needs identified by students, faculty, and staff for the website. The modernized version is designed to deliver on those needs.
As we developed the modernized website, we relied on input and feedback from student-users throughout the design and build processes to make sure it would better serve prospective and current students—the website’s primary audience.
Future Website Modernization
Following the first wave, we will set a schedule for the migration of the remaining campus content. We are carefully planning this migration process to minimize interruptions to the functionality of our websites and your day-to-day needs as a student.
Please do not hesitate to share any questions or concerns with the web modernization team at webredesignteam@uta.edu.
Our website is the most public-facing expression of UTA’s mission, goals, values, quality, and success. The University is positioning itself as the model 21st-Century Urban Research University, and our website must reflect that trajectory. We appreciate your support in making this vision a reality and look forward to providing you a more efficient and effective web experience to begin the 2019-20 academic year. |
