To make a page redirect to another page, and to make search engines stop seeing the old page, you simply need to add the following code within the head tag:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2;URL=http://bschool.washington.edu/folder/filename">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">
For example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2;URL=http://bschool.washington.edu/mba/admissions.shtml">
redirects your page to the file "admissions.shtml" in the folder "mba" of the new bschool website.
Note: the value "2" above means we are using a pause of 2 seconds before redirect. Eventually we will change this vale to "0".
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">
tells search engines to no longer show this page in search results, and to follow the redirect path to the new page.
