Webform

This is a custom content type created for the Hydraulic platform and is not currently available in the university WordPress offering. Use of this content type requires coordination with the OneIT - Student Affairs Support Web Development Team.

Using webforms to gather information is a specialized service that not all sites need or want. Many times a Google Form will work just fine for what is needed. For those times where something more substantial or customized is needed, we provide this content type and will work with you to create a webform specifically to meet your needs. Please reach out to your marketing department first as they might have additional ideas or be able to direct you a service that better matches your needs.
