IT Professionals,
On Thursday, June 1, the primary domain for the IU Southeast web gateway will change from www.ius.edu to southeast.iu.edu as part of the Digital Strategy Initiative. IU Southeast is the first campus gateway domain change of the initiative. The remaining campus gateway domains will change in the coming months.
Web requests for www.ius.edu, including parameter strings and tracking codes, will be redirected to the same page on southeast.iu.edu. For example, “ius.edu/natural-sciences/programs/biology/” will redirect to “southeast.iu.edu/natural-sciences/programs/biology/”.
Email, Machforms, and web applications (e.g. apps.ius.edu, now.ius.edu, grenadiercentral.ius.edu, etc.) will not be affected. For now, this change will impact only the main campus website.
Visitors may experience slower load times and potential temporary 404 errors accessing the gateway on June 1, as the entire site will be republished from WCMS to Sitehost. Please report any issues, such as broken links, by submitting a ticket.
Reach out to the Digital Strategy Initiative team at dstrat@iu.edu with any questions about this component of IU’s strategy to streamline its 2,000+ websites.
