Reminder: NIC's new website
launches tomorrow
NIC’s new website is going live! Launch is scheduled for the morning of Tuesday, July 11.
The website may be down intermittently as we transition to our new site.
Once the new site goes live, there will be at least a three-day period for Google and other search engines to catch up with the switch. Please expect some pages to redirect to our current (soon-to-be old) website during this time; the search function on the new website may also be impacted.
The soon-to-be old nic.edu will continue running for a limited time for users to reference. This website, which will become known as ww2.nic.edu, will not be updated after the new nic.edu is launched. Upon transition, the new website, currently known as test.nic.edu, will switch to the URL we all know and love: www.nic.edu.
Find more information about the transition here.
Your IT and ComMark colleagues are so excited to share this huge project with our campus community and beyond! We’re also looking forward to working with you to make nic.edu the best it can be.
Thank you for everything you have done to help us get to this point and for everything you will do to help us all get farther down the line on this enormous and important project.
For more information, contact NIC Web Manager Amy Huguenin at (208) 769-7819 or amy.huguenin@nic.edu.

Summer work schedule options for staff
NIC supports employees in balancing their personal lives with their work commitments. In support of this balance, we are encouraging alternate summer work schedules for staff, where the department can support them.
Earlier this year the policy and procedure on Alternate Work Schedules were updated, supporting schedule flexibility.
While alternate work schedules can be worked year-round, a lighter student presence during the summer may allow for greater flexibility, while still providing a high-quality student experience and supporting educational opportunities. Summer alternate schedule options are intended to provide employees in staff positions more opportunity to take advantage of longer daylight hours, warmer weather and summer breaks for students of all ages.
More details are available in the Alternate Work Schedules Guideline on the HR portal. Interested employees should discuss options with their supervisor.
