Cascade content management system

Web publishing and hosting

Cascade is a content management system that departments and administrative units use to create and update UVic websites. You can use Cascade to create pages, add text, insert images and links without any special knowledge of web programming.

If you are new to using Cascade, there is training available through Brightspace. We recommend all users self-enroll in the Brightspace course for access to the most up-to-date training material and topics.
