Go Links: Lehigh-wide URL Shortening / Branding

The "Go Links" service offers shortened, custom, Lehigh URLs that are easy to remember and forward clients to any page you'd like. You can set up a Go link at go.lehigh.edu.  

Redirects to domains outside of Lehigh require approval (usually within one business day). Students must use a sponsor or staff advisor to create a go link. IN or departmental accounts cannot be used to creat a go link. Below are some common questions:

What are go links for?

A URL shortener (also called a redirection service) can solve that, by converting a long, complex URL into one that's easy to remember and easy to type. You may be familiar with some commercial redirection services, such as tinyurl.com, bit.ly, or goo.gl. Lehigh's is called 'Let's Go'.

How do I make one?

1. Have a link (web page) that you want to others to visit.

2. Think of a word or phrase for your go link. For example, if your link is a survey, you may want to make a go link "go.lehigh.edu/mysurvey."

3. Log into go.lehigh.edu and fill out the form. Note that some go links require approval.

How do I see all the go links I have requested? 

Go to go.lehigh.edu and click on the Manage your existing redirects below the big, blue Let's go button.

What forms of URL can I use for go links? 

A go link can be of one of two formats: go.lehigh.edu/anytext or lehigh.edu/go/anytext

What if my go link is being used by someone else? 

The system won't let you use a go link that is already in use.

A go link used by my department has expired, or is about to expire. It was created by a former staff member or we don't know who created it. What should we do?
