Website Redirect

Overview

A URL redirect is a web server function that sends a user from one URL to another.

For example, if you type in ufv.ca/nso into your browser, it will redirect you to ufv.ca/current-students/new-student-orientation/

Website redirects are useful for users if they don't want to type in your whole URL but rather a shorter one.

Request Website Redirect

UFV employees can complete the Website Redirect Request form to request access to request a website redirect.
