IT Professionals,
On Tuesday, June 20, the primary domain for the IU Northwest web gateway will change from www.iun.edu to northwest.iu.edu as part of the Digital Strategy Initiative. IU Northwest is the second campus gateway domain change of the initiative. The remaining campus gateway domains will change in the coming months.
Web requests for www.iun.edu, including parameter strings and tracking codes, will be redirected to the same page on northwest.iu.edu. Examples:
- “iun.edu/scholarships/” will redirect to “northwest.iu.edu/scholarships/”
- “iun.edu/financialaid/prospective-students/index.htm” will redirect to “northwest.iu.edu/financialaid/prospective-students/index.html”
Email and web applications (e.g. Low Enrolled Classes and Class Schedule Management, Faculty Professional webpages, 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 20, 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.
