I kind of like the idea of informing the students of the closure.

Going with your thought, let's say for some reason a student has bookmarked

www.theothersite.com/somewebpage.html

wouldn't they end up attempting to get

www.providence.edu/somewebpage.html and then end up with a Page Not Found 
error?
