Short URL

Create short URLs (go.ung.edu/___) specifically for UNG related content for publicity. This tool is typically used for the following domains:

  • ung.edu
  • ungathletics.com
  • unggive.org
  • ungalumni.org
  • catalog.ung.edu
  • connect.ung.edu

Requesting Short URL

You do have the ability to log back in to goUNG after you have successfully created a custom URL and change the destination of the URL, so plan wisely and you will be able to use a custom URL for years to come.

Random Short URL

Without needing to log in, you can generate a random three character URL for any page on those domains. Simply paste the destination URL in the text box on the goUNG site, select the 'Generate goUNG' button, and you will be given the new short URL.

Example: go.ung.edu/vnj redirects to https://ung.edu/university-press/books/ilss-symposium-proceedings.php

Custom URL

Custom go.ung.edu short URLs are submitted for approval. Requests are reviewed to ensure they are meaningful and distinct. Once approved, you can edit the destination URL at any time, allowing you to reuse the same link for future campaigns.

Custom URLs must meet the following guidelines:

  • Be Descriptive: The name should clearly describe the destination.
  • Be Unique: Avoid generic terms (e.g., "classes") or names that conflict with other units.
  • Format: Do not use slashes or sub-levels (e.g., go.ung.edu/grad/apply is invalid).
  • Purpose: Do not use custom URLs for testing; use random URLs instead.

Example: go.ung.edu/pros redirects to http://ung.edu/mike-cottrell-college-of-business/pros.php
