What is Manage URLs?

Manage URLs is a way to add customized URLs or web links to u.select for your school.

Essential URLs

These URLs should be set up when getting started in u.select.

URL Name	Description	Logo Size (w) x (h)
Institution Logo URL	This logo will be shown when a user logs in with your school ID or when any user selects your school in the Programs and Plan areas of u.select. The logo also is displayed at the top of Plans run for your school.	350 x 100
Navigation Logo URL	This logo will be displayed on the navigation bar for your school in u.select.	180 x 180
Logout URL	Enter the web location/link that a u.select user, who has logged in with your school id, will be directed to when they click the Logoutbutton in u.select. This URL could used to redirect a user to your school's homepage, a general transfer page, or a survey about their u.select experience.
Contact Email	Enter an email address that questions about transfer to your school can be sent to. This email address should be one that is checked and responded to often. It could be a generic u.select email address that goes to several people on campus or the email or an administrator or advisor who should address u.select questions for your school. (Do NOT include mailto: at the beginning.)
Planning Guide Contact	Enter an email address that is used when a u.select user has a plan question for your school. (Do NOT include mailto: at the beginning.)
Non-u.select Course URL	Enter the link to your school's online course catalog. If you have this link populated, your school will show up in the View School's Catalog area to provide u.select users more information about courses offered at your school.

School Information URLs

If added in u.select, these URLs are shown to a user when your school is selected in the School Information Links area. When a user selects the link in u.select, a new window will open with URL entered.

URL Name	Description
Admissions Info URL	Redirects the user to your school's online admissions information.
Admissions Online Application URL	Enter the URL for your school's online admissions application.
Financial Aid Info URL	Enter the URL for financial aid information at your school.

Transfer Info URL	Redirects the user to additional transfer information available for your school.

External URLs

These URLs are used to redirect a user within u.select to an external application/website.

URL Name	Description
Academic Program Override URL	This URL should be entered if you want to redirect a user to a page outside of u.select when your school is selected in the Program area. This link is not frequently used.
CEG Override URL	This URL should be entered if you are using Non-Local-DARwin course equivalencies. This includes schools using the external DARwin course equivalency application and Non-DARwin schools. Your school's technical support will most likely give you the URL to enter in this area if it is needed.
External Degree Audit URL	This should be entered if you are using the External DARwin application or if you are not using the DARwin Degree Audit. Your school's technical support will most likely give you the URL to enter in this area if it is needed.
SIS Import Remote URL	This should be entered if you have set up the application to allow students to import course work directly from your student information system. Your school's technical support will most likely give you the URL to enter in this area if it is needed.
EDAG Error URL	The email address that is used when u.select is unable to send an external planning guide request. u.select will send an email to this address for notification of the error. Enter only the email address such as "yourname@school.edu" without a "mailto" or "http://". For more information see the EDAG Error Emails page.
