Drupal - Special Role: CV Upload via Provost in Drupal

Uploading your CV

In order to include your CV in your Biography in Drupal, you will need the assistance of the Provost.

Note: Faculty members who wish to post their CV to the website are asked to email Tina Bockius, Faculty Administrative Coordinator, at cbockius@brynmawr.edu.

Staff and other CV requests should be sent to communications@brynmawr.edu.

Provost’s Office Role

In order to have the Provost’s Office approve CVs for posting on the website, there is a special permission level on the website specifically for uploading CVs and adding them to a biography (otherwise known as a Directory page)

This documentation is meant to assist the Provost’s Office with uploading the CVs.

On this screen, we can search for PDFs by typing pdf in the MIME Type field and pressing Filter. This will help us know if the file is already on the site and how many pages may be using it.
