<p>Anyone else getting redirected to a site about “blink” when you try to sign into the ucsd single signon page? Started happening today, wasn’t like this before</p>
<p>Hey–it just changed. Now the login goes not to ‘Applicant Status’ like earlier this morning. It redirects to ‘Blink’-- a site for UCSD ‘Faculty and Students.’ </p>
<p>Does this mean anything???</p>
<p>The Blink site says: “The Link family is an integrated Web-based environment that provides authorized UCSD students, faculty, and staff with consistent and easy-to-use access to administrative information.”</p>
<p>And to the person who asked me where, I had the login for the admissions portal bookmarked and when I logged in there it sent me to the Blink page.</p>
