Business Case: Promotional Space

Promotional Space Request Information

Please be advised that all promotional space requests must be submitted 4 weeks prior to the first date you want the promotion posted to ensure scheduling. If your request for a promotional space is submitted less than 4 weeks, the Web Services Unit (WSU) can not guarantee that your promotion will remain posted for the duration requested. 

Below is a list of questions that are required for the promotional space on the University's home pages. When submitting your request, you will also need to upload a copy of the actual promotional image/s as part of the request. Promotional space is only allocated for a maximum of 2 weeks. Requests for additional time will be reviewed and approved based on current scheduling demands.

If you require assistance with creating a promotional design, you will have to complete the Design Request: Promotional Space form.

Please Note: All fields are required as mandatory and must be filled in before your request can be approved.

Essentially all requests for banner presence are based on a bidding system where the owner should advise of:

Business Case


(Name of the person submitting the request)

The designated WSU member for your area.

(Two weeks max is the standard default)

(Maximum length - 300 characters)


For promo images requested to display after 13 August 2012. Note that the primary home page is reserved for special branding and recruitment banners only, however "Life at UWS" images can be displayed on the Home page.
