Content PostingAll Web requests are processed in a timely fashion. There is no guarantee that a Web request will be completed within the requested timeframe due to volume of requests and resource allocation. To meet your deadlines, please submit the request as soon as possible to ensure that it is processed.

Posting Dates Required by Law If the posting date is required by law, please note the date in the subject of the e-mail request. New Web Sites All plans for new Web sites should be discussed with your WCD liaison prior to submitting a Web request. Large Documents If you are posting a large document, a document with tables or graphics, or a complicated request, you should meet with your WCD liaison. Your liaison will inform the Web team that your official request will be coming and to plan its development, compliance with Section 508, and publishing schedule. Content Accessibility Please be aware that no documents will be posted that are not accessible to persons with disabilities (Section 508). Depending on the complexity of the document and whether it is properly prepared for publishing to the Web, you can expect that requests will need at least 1 additional day for simple documents to several weeks for lengthy documents with tables to code a document to comply with Section 508. Visit our Section 508 resources. Document Format Word formats are preferred over all other formats. PDFs and PPTs are discouraged because they are typically not accessible.
