Tertiary Menu

The Tertiary Menu is a menu that can be added below a site’s primary navigation. This navigation can be used in lieu of dropdown menus or used for creating creating “jump links”. Administrators may also use this feature on every page

Because this feature has some adverse effects when network activated and requires some guidance on usage, this feature is only activated by request. A request for activation is made by emailing um.weboffice@maine.edu.
