Details
How to Request
- Owners of websites for Purdue departments may submit a request for a redirect to Web Services using this form.
- Officers and advisors for recognized student organizations may request a redirect by contacting the Office of the Dean of Students – Student Activities and Organizations (https://www.purdue.edu/sao/) to submit a student organization redirect request form.
Request Approval
- All redirects directly below www.purdue.edu must be approved by Purdue Marketing and Communications.
- Redirects from within existing sites or from other host names must be approved by the site or host’s owner.
Restrictions on Redirects
- Student organization redirects must point to a Purdue-hosted site.
- Student organization redirects from www.student-orgs.purdue.edu are preferred.
- Student organization redirects from www.purdue.edu are unlikely to be approved by Purdue Marketing and Communications.
- Redirects to personal web pages are not permitted.
- Redirects are only available from URLs otherwise hostable by Web Services (i.e., we cannot redirect from “engineering.purdue.edu/some-URL”).
Processing Time
- Redirects are typically processed within 2-3 business days, subject to required approvals.
