Gettysburg College will be launching new websites on Monday, October 12. Look for a new website on Monday at gettysburg.edu.

Some of the content will move to an intranet, which will serve the needs of College community members like students, faculty, and staff.

Frequently asked questions

Why a new website?

• Websites need to evolve over time to remain accurate, accessible, easy to use, and easy to find.
• Direct feedback from our website visitors has helped shape the new design and architecture.

Will the web address change?

• We are dropping use of www for our primary site, but if you use www, you'll still arrive at the right place.
• We'll have redirects set up for pages that have new addresses, so your bookmarks should continue to take you where you need to go without any changes on your part.
• Some of the content for our internal audiences will move into the intranet, and a College account will be needed to access them.

Will application, visit registration, and giving links still work?

• Yes!

How will I find things without a bookmark?

• We have several suggestions -- try one or try a combination of them as you get used to navigating the new site.
• There will be landing pages built for our audiences with lots of helpful links. Find your page in the "Information for" menu when you click the menu / search icon at the top of the new site.

• Our most commonly-accessed content will still have easy links at the top of each page and at the bottom of each page.
