What is an Aub.ie Link and How Do I Create One?


What is an aub.ie link?

aub.ie is Auburn University's Official Short URL Generator.

If you have a long URL or one that isn’t easy to remember, you can use aub.ie to create a shortcut to it.  For example, if you have trouble remembering the address of the Auburn Creed's webpage, we created aub.ie/creed. Anyone with a valid Auburn University username/password can create an aub.ie shortcut, but anyone can use aub.ie shortcuts and QR codes.

Are aub.ie links safe?

Yes, aub.ie links should be considered safe. All activity within the aub.ie system is logged, URLs are scanned for malicious content, and shortcuts are cross-referenced against a list of banned words. Individuals found to be violating the Terms of Service will have their shortcuts removed and be prohibited from using the system.  The eventual webpage that gets loaded may be out of the control of Auburn University so caution should be used when visiting any website that is unfamiliar to you.
