Minimum requirements for MU Extension affiliate Web sites

Affiliate sites are those that represent MU Extension named programs, but are not maintained by MU Extension employees. Examples include 4-H club, Master Gardener and Master Naturalist Web sites.

  1. Affiliate sites must include:

  • a statement that clearly defines the relationship with MU Extension. In some cases, this may also include relationships with other entities.
    Examples:
    The Confluence Chapter of the Missouri Master Naturalist Program* is an affiliate program of the University of Missouri Extension* and the Missouri Department of Conservation*. This site is maintained by local volunteers who represent these programs in their communities.

    St. Louis Master Gardeners is an affiliate program of the University of Missouri Extension Master Gardener Program* and the Missouri Botanical Garden*. This site is maintained by local volunteers who represent these programs in their communities.

    *Provide links to appropriate MU Extension program pages and partners.
     
  • a nondiscrimination statement that links to the MU Extension policy page:

    University of Missouri Extension is an equal opportunity/ADA institution
    Link this to: http://extension.missouri.edu/nondiscrimination.html
  1. The correct formal name of the organization is University of Missouri Extension.  This full name should be used as the first reference in an article or Web page.  The preferred second reference is MU Extension.
    (Further reading: detailed identity guidelines)
     
  2. Content that describes the program should not be duplicated if it is available on an MU Extension Web page. Instead, link to the MU Extension page. Examples include content such as “About the Missouri Master Gardener Program,” “About 4-H,” and “How to become a Master Gardener.”
     
  3. Volunteer-maintained sites must be kept up to date and have content oversight from a current faculty member who is named on the pages with contact information.
     
  4. To verify that the above requirements are met, the site must be approved by the statewide program leader with oversight in the content area and the MU Extension Web team. Sites that meet these requirements can include the MU Extension logo and can be linked from the MU Extension Web pages if appropriate.
