WSU identifier zone

The WSU Identifier zone consists of global content that must appear consistently on all WSU Web pages. The content includes the WSU signature, tagline, global navigation links, and a crimson line immediately above the site identifier zone. The WSU Identifier components are implemented by using specific code included in the core HTML file. This code must not be altered in any way.

The code included in the core HTML file points to a centrally located external file enabling university-wide updates to the WSU Identifier zone content. Future updates to this zone will NOT require individual Web developers to update individual sites or pages.

NEVER modify this zone's content or design in any way or overlap it with any other content.

Regional campuses display their unique campus logo, global navigation links, and global footer. Refer to these instructions for implementing regional campus global components.
