Getting Started

What is Modern Campus CMS?

Modern Campus CMS  (formerly Omni CMS) is a web content management system developed by Modern Campus and is used by hundreds of colleges and universities to manage their websites.  Modern Campus CMS is easy to use; website editors don’t need to know HTML, and don’t need any special software.

Templates designed for the new Modern Campus CMS system have seven UAF-branded themes as well as a UA Statewide theme.  Modern Campus CMS features a number of advanced layouts and features based on current website design trends as well as feedback from university web designers.
