Setting up a Custom URL

Changing from xyz.degreesight.com to transfers.xyz.edu

Other than the general configuration of your portal's design (loading the correct assets and ensuring the website has the correct colors and styles to match your institution's brand), there still remain two key activities to complete before your portal looks and feels fully like it is a part of your institution:

1. Change the URL to match your primary domain (such as, "transfers.yourschool.edu")

2. Allow all assets to be presented through your firewalls

---

1. Changing your URL

To change the URL to transfers.youruniversity.edu, please simply add an CNAME record pointing to this new subdomain ("transfers") to platform.degreesight.com.

Next, create 2 TXT records with the information provided by your DegreeSight onboarding representative. For example:

Once this is updated, please contact your DegreeSight onboarding representative to let them know so we may create the relevant SSL certs and the domain styling thereafter.

1. Allowing assets to be presented through your firewalls

To ensure that your logos and custom CSS are presented effectively at your new custom subdomain, please allow all traffic on your firewall from ("fully trust") the following:

• assets.degreesight.com

• assets-qa.degreesight.com
