UCCity Website Terms of Use
The University of California, City (UCCity) encourages the use of its website to share information and knowledge, advancing the university’s core mission of excellence in education, research, and community engagement. UCCity’s website is owned by the Regents of the University of California and operated by UCCity. Content is subject to change at any time without prior notice. While most webpages are publicly accessible, certain online services and information may be restricted to specific users (e.g., current students, faculty, or staff) or UCCity community members.
UCCity upholds principles of academic freedom, shared governance, freedom of expression, and privacy for faculty, staff, and students in their use of electronic resources—consistent with university policies and regulations. The website includes two types of content:
1. Official Pages: Support UCCity’s core mission (e.g., academic programs, research initiatives) or administrative functions (e.g., admissions, financial aid), and reflect the university’s official positions.
2. Third-Party/Individual Content: Created by student groups, faculty, or staff as personal or affiliated projects. Views expressed in these materials do not necessarily represent UCCity or The Regents.
UCCity does not actively monitor or pre-screen all webpage content. However, upon receiving credible notice of content alleged to violate laws, university policies, or ethical standards, we will conduct a prompt investigation and take appropriate action (e.g., removal, correction, or follow-up with the content owner).
• Medical Information: Any health-related content on the website is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. By using the site, you acknowledge this and agree not to rely on such content for personal health decisions.
• Accuracy & Liability: UCCity makes no express or implied warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of website content. The university shall not be liable for any damages (direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential) arising from use of, or reliance on, the website or its content.
The website may collect limited data to enhance functionality, improve content, and monitor performance (e.g., page views, user navigation). This data is used solely to address questions about site usage and optimize the user experience. For details on data collection, storage, and protection, refer to the full UCCity Website Privacy Policy.
UCCity operates within a distributed information technology environment; policies and procedures may vary slightly by department or unit.
UCCity is committed to ensuring its website is accessible and user-friendly for all—including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. We adhere to the University of California IT Accessibility Policy and federal ADA standards.
If you encounter accessibility barriers (e.g., content incompatible with screen readers), report the issue via our online accessibility feedback form or email websites@uccity.us. All reports will be forwarded to the Web Standards Project Manager for resolution.
Official vs. Unofficial Websites
Not all sites hosted on UCCity servers are “official” university websites. Unofficial sites include personal pages of students, faculty, or staff—regardless of whether they include disclaimers. Key distinctions:
• Official Sites: Endorse UCCity’s mission, use official branding, and are managed by university departments.
• Unofficial Sites: Do not represent UCCity in any capacity. The Regents of the University of California do not endorse, warrant, or assume responsibility for the content of unofficial sites or materials accessed from them.
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance
UCCity strictly complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Unless otherwise noted, all trademarks, service marks, trade names, and content on official UCCity websites are the property of UCCity and the Regents of the University of California.
• Permitted Use: You may download one copy of official content to a single device for personal, non-commercial use—provided you retain all copyright and proprietary notices.
• Prohibited Use: Unauthorized copying, reproduction, republishing, modification, transmission, or distribution of content (including use on other websites or networked environments) violates UCCity’s intellectual property rights.
Copyright Infringement Notices
UCCity has designated a DMCA Agent to receive notices of alleged copyright infringement. For the latest contact information for the UCCity DMCA Agent, visit the UCCity Legal Affairs website.
Links from UCCity-hosted sites to external (non-university) websites do not imply UCCity’s endorsement of the external site’s products, services, or content. References to non-UCCity entities, products, or services are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement.
UCCity’s distributed IT environment means contact information varies by department or unit. For website-specific questions (e.g., broken links, content updates), refer to the contact details listed in the page footer, sidebar, or “About” section of the relevant webpage. For general website feedback, email webadmin@uccity.us.
