UW-Platteville has established a set of URLs that are used to gain quick access to online resources. They are designed to "virtualize" the URL so content location changes do not invalidate links or published URLs. For that reason, it is strongly encouraged that these URLs be used instead of the native URL for these areas.
The form of the URL is http://www.uwplatt.edu/go/ followed by a keyword (and no trailing slash). Below is a list of the primary keywords and a description of the destination:
- acadtools - The Academic Tools page. PASS, Desire2Learn, etc.
