Domain Name Request Form (for harvard.edu):

Advance permission is required from the Trademark Program for use of a harvard.edu domain name (e.g., "help.harvard.edu," "poetryforum.harvard.edu," "hsci.harvard.edu, " etc.). The following criteria need to be met in order to obtain approval:

1. The program or activity needs to be University-wide in nature: the structure and governance of the program or activity must have faculty involvement from at least three separate schools and/or must formally report to University-wide officers, such as the President and/or Provost or a group of Deans from several Faculties.
2. The domain name being requested cannot cause confusion with activities elsewhere in the University, present or future, or be too broad (e.g., "health.harvard.edu, " "email.harvard.edu," etc.); in the case of broad domain names, approval might be granted as long as the domain name is made available for use by all within the University to which the domain might apply.
3. The "Harvard" web site, related to the domain name being requested, cannot be hosted off site without approval from the local Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Senior Associate Provost and Chief Information Officer.

Please note: if the proposed domain name is associated with a school-based activity, the appropriate address will need to reflect the faculty that hosts the activity (e.g., "fas.harvard.edu," "hms.harvard.edu," etc.).

Please complete all relevant fields (bold fields required).

Domain Name requests are reviewed and prioritized in the order in which they are received. The Harvard Trademark Program is responsible for reviewing and approving each request. The process is completed within approximately 5 business days.
