The purpose of this policy is to provide information and procedures to be followed for registering a domain name. A domain name, as with any trade name, is part of the identity of the University. It helps communicate the University’s image and reputation to the public. This policy helps govern domain name registrations to ensure domain names are used appropriately and in alignment with institutional goals.
Domain names are used to identify a business, organization, or institution on the internet. This unique identifier allows the creation of webpages, email, and other Internet-based services. Domain names are assigned at different levels which include:
The domain name assigned to McNeese State University is www.mcneese.edu.
This policy covers all academic and administrative units, academic and administrative staff, and University affiliates seeking to register a domain name.
The University recognizes www.mcneese.edu as its official domain name and, like other marks of the institution, is restricted to the University’s policies and guidelines. Registration of a domain name will require advance permission and must be approved by the Web Design Task Force.
