Linking to the Application
When linking from your page to our Application for Graduate Admission, use http://gradapp.unl.edu. That tidy little alias will always automatically redirect to the true URL of the application form.

Using the full URL instead will still work, of course, but the full URL is longer, more complicated, and not entirely permanent:
https://wam.unl.edu/stuap p/WebAppController?appId= webapp&featureId=grad

The 2009 version of the UNL template places site navigation links at the top of the page in an expandable shelf. This page's navigation shows the basic content we recommend including.

The template also designates a space for related links — sites/pages outside your site which are likely to be useful to people browsing your site — in the page footer.
