  1. Log out of the queue
  2. Visit https://queue.illinois.edu/q/cs225/ (deep links used on course pages, advising offices, etc)
  3. Log in
  4. You will find yourself at https://queue.illinois.edu/q/ (not cs225)

Given the use-case for advising offices and new users, dumping them into the main queue page their first time visiting the queue can be a very confusing experience.

I think the cleanest option for this is a query param on the shib login URL, something like queue.illinois.edu/q/login/shib?redirect=/queue/12345 - Shib will make sure that we get that param after the user authenticates, and we can then do a redirect.
