Cascade is the Content Management System (CMS) the Office of Digital Communications uses for the creation and management of FIU websites.
Here are the steps you need to follow to get access to edit your website in Cascade.
1. Verify if you already have access
Before launching a new website, DigiComm compiles a user list for accessing the site in Cascade. So, you may already have access!
To check your access, visit cascade.fiu.edu and log in with your FIU credentials.
If you are able to log in to Cascade, you can skip to Step 3, and don't forget to check out our resources for new users.
2. If you don't have access, contact DigiComm
If you are unable to log in with your FIU credentials, you should request access to the site by emailing digimaint@fiu.edu. In the email, provide your name, title, department and the URL(s) of the website(s) you need to access. Copy a department supervisor or marketing lead. The DigiComm team will let you know when you’ve been added to Cascade.
3. Once you have access, choose the appropriate site in Cascade
After successfully logging in to Cascade, select the website you want to edit. Some users may have access to multiple sites in Cascade. It is important to choose the appropriate website before making any changes.
Cascade training
Now that you have access to Cascade, it’s time to get some training!
DigiComm offers documentation and training materials to help acquaint you with the features available in Cascade and the Core template.
