6.4 Embed - iFrame

The "Embed-iFrame" block allows a webpage from another site to be completely embedded in a page. Please note that any embedded code submitted to be added to our website is subject to the review of both the University Relations webteam and IT. 

If you have questions about embedding content on your website, please contact the webteam (login required.)

Before You Submit Your "Request a Web Edit" Ticket

  • If you are trying to embed a map or an interactive graphic or multimedia file, please verify that it is accesible.
  • If you are unable to verify that the content being embedded via an iFrame is fully accessible, then please create a text version of all the information conveyed in the embedded content.
  • Any videos must have a transcript and be closed captioned before they can be added to the site.

What You Need in Your Ticket

  • If you have verified the content is accessible, please submit the verification you have received.
  • If the content is not accessible, please include a text version that conveys all of the same information available in the embedded content. This can be in a Word document, and the webteam will design the layout based on the text version and the embedded content.
  • The iFrame embed code.
  • The page URL you would like the content embedded on.
