Google Sites empowers anyone to build professional-grade websites and internal hubs without a developer. Using a simple drag-and-drop interface, you can launch internal team sites or public pages in minutes, eliminating the need for specialized web design support. Learn more about Google Sites.
Access & Editing
Google Sites includes access controls that let you restrict access to the university community or to specific individuals or MCommunity groups. You can also grant editing rights to other U-M Google accounts in order to collaborate on the site.
You are also free to use Google's pre-built templates when creating your site or start from scratch.
Web Addresses
After publishing your Google Site, the default web address is as follows: https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/sitename
University units (including individual faculty and staff) and student groups can request a custom domain name and URL for their Google Site, provided the domain name falls under umich.edu and complies with SPG 601.15. (For example, https://example.its.umich.edu.) Custom domain names are currently not available for Google Sites owned by individual students.
Note: Google prohibits non-UM domain names, such as .com or .org, from being used with U-M Google Sites.
If you would like to request a custom domain name and URL for your Google Site, contact [email protected] or your local Unit IT. They will create a custom DNS name pointed to ghs.googlehosted.com and escalate the request to the U-M Google team to finish the process.
