Academic and administrative units at the University of Wyoming have access to a powerful, web-based tool that makes creating and maintaining a website easier.
We are currently underway with our transition to Omni CMS, which will be replacing Cascade CMS in late spring 2023. Be sure to check out our Omni CMS section for progress updates and where we currently stand in our migration timeline.
Important Note for Site Authors
Due to our transition to Omni CMS, site authors must be trained in both Omni CMS and Cascade in order to receive CMS access. If you are an existing site author inside Cascade as of January 26 and you are unable to log in to Omni CMS, please open an Omni help request ticket.
If you are not an existing Cascade CMS site author, you are required to take both Cascasde and Omni CMS training in order to gain access to the CMS due to our double system edits requirement during our content prep phase. This requirement for new site authors will be removed and replaced with Omni-focused training later this spring.
Visit our migration FAQ section for more information!
Site author training is verified prior to being granted access to the system.
Mandatory Site Access Training
All site authors must take the following training to gain access to the CMS:
Cascade CMS login
Login into Cascade Server, the content management system for the University of Wyoming.
Omni CMS login
Please refer to your training success page to gain access to Omni CMS.
Accessing the CMS from off-campus?
You must be connected to WyoSecure VPN to access Cascade CMS from a location outside of UW's network - such as your home office or while traveling.
We serve over 400 site authors and may not be able to address your questions immediately. One of the best ways to receive troubleshooting assistance is to register for a weekly Virtual Open Lab time slot where you can speak directly with a CMS expert.
These open labs are appointment-only and are currently being hosted on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Visit the Cascade CMS knowledge base for information and resources, including SEO, to help you with your website.
Omni CMS Tutorials
Site authors can visit our Omni tutorials page for assistance with Omni CMS. You must be connected to WyoSecure VPN if you are accessing this link off the UW campus network.
