#  What happens after I request a HarvardSites website? 

 



After you submit a request for a HarvardSites website, it enters a governed intake and review process rather than being immediately provisioned.

Your School or Unit’s web governance group reviews the request to confirm the site’s purpose, ownership, and alignment with local policies and portfolio priorities.

Once approved, HWP proceeds with provisioning the site on the appropriate platform and notifies you when it is ready for use.

Timelines can vary depending on governance review cycles and completeness of the request, but this process is intentional. It connects site creation to clear stewardship, accountability, and long-term sustainability across Harvard’s web portfolio.
