The University of Minnesota Web Stats service powered by Urchin will be
retired. Urchin is no longer being supported by its vendor, Google. To
track your web statistics going forward, Google Analytics is
available<http://www.google.com/analytics/http://>.

Important dates:

   - September 2012: Urchin account holders should begin to set up their
   websites to use Google Analytics. All sites should be set up by March 1,
   2013. Instructions for using Google Analytics are listed below.
   - March 1, 2013: No new web stats will be collected through Urchin,
   however reports based on data collected up until March 1, 2013 may still be
   obtained.
   - September 1, 2013: Urchin is decommissioned. Urchin web stats reports
   are no longer available.

you Begin

To set up tracking web stats with Google Analytics, you must have access to
the source code for your website. If you do not have access, we recommend
you contact your unit's web developer or administrator.
Getting Started

To begin, visit Google's Google Analytics
website<http://www.google.com/analytics>.
The first time you enter Google Analytics, you will need to create an
account by clicking the button at the top right. Instructions for setting
up your website(s) and customizing the kind of data you'll collect are
provided.

Please contact the UMN Web Stats support team <[log in to unmask]> with
any questions or concerns.
