The 杏吧专区 launched a new website design in April 2013 and expects to update some 200 college, department and center websites during the next three years, according to Aimee Bullinger, associate director of web communications.

Preparing in June for the URL杏吧专区檚 retirement, the Office of Communications and Marketing began sending messages to campus members who had been using ull.edu for email addresses and to websites with links to ull.edu URLs. During the summer, ull.edu Web pages had been redirected to respective louisiana.edu pages to prime users.
Effective Aug. 30, email messages sent to ull.edu addresses will not be deliverable. Senders will receive a bounce message explaining that the destination address does not exist.
The ull.edu URL will stop redirecting to individual pages. It will redirect to the Louisiana.edu main page. Later in September, it will no longer redirect to Louisiana.edu at all.
Campus users who need assistance with an email account or website should contact the IT Help Desk at ithelp@louisiana.edu or 337-482-HELP (4357).
