Domain Names & URLs

Introduction

The University Communications Department is responsible for managing the university's brand. 作为责任的一部分, 该部门负责监督在营销材料和广告中使用大学名称和官方标志. Policies for ensuring that logos and other trademarks are used appropriately in printed materials have been in effect for several years; however, a similar policy for managing domain name registrations did not exist. 所附政策旨在通过提供一个监督在域名注册中使用官方大学名称的流程来解决这一问题.

Policy Statement

RWU的域名注册活动与其他需要事先许可才能使用大学名称或徽章的活动类似. 包括正式大学名称的外部受众的域名-无论是“RWU”名称本身还是大学任何学术单位的名称, 行政单位, organizations, or affiliated groups – must be approved by the Web Services team prior to registering the name.

政策原因
大学的官方名称是向公众传达大学形象和声誉的商业名称. To ensure that trade names are used appropriately and in alignment with institutional goals, the university needs to establish a policy for governing future domain name registrations.

受此策略影响的实体
Those who are affected by this policy include all academic and 行政单位, 大学附属, and academic and administrative staff who are seeking to register a domain name. 详细信息请参见 域名命名指南 below.

谁应该阅读这份政策

  • 教务长和副校长
  • Deans
  • Directors
  • Faculty
  • Staff
  • 附属机构 & groups

大学拥有
Just as trademarks involving the name of the university or any of its units must be owned by the university, 任何包含“RWU”或任何形式的任何单独单位或附属团体的名称的互联网地址必须归大学所有. Private individuals and nonaffiliated RWU organizations or groups may not register such Internet addresses. Violations of this policy may result in legal action on the part of the university.

互联网地址的适当性
Internet addresses should accurately describe the activity or program to which they refer. 互联网地址或以任何形式使用“RWU”表明由大学作为一个整体或由大学的任何单位赞助，只有在该名称准确的情况下才会被批准. In many cases, the appropriate address will note the group that hosts the activity (e.g., ucomm.jazztelfibraoptica.net).

域名注册审批
As in the case of other uses of the "RWU" name or the name of an official university entity, 必须事先获得有关官员的许可. In all cases, 网络服务团队必须批准以任何形式(包括缩写或与其他单词组合)在互联网地址或网站标识中使用官方大学名称的请求。. 为正式的学院名称或类似的实体, Web服务团队还将在授权请求之前与请求单位的院长或主管澄清请求.

非rwu托管.edu网址
In most cases, the appropriate domain name for university activities will be "edu."适用于RWU以外的所有域名注册.edu domain (e.g., com, net, Org)，包括任何形式的正式大学名称, the unit must contact the Web Services team for approval prior to registering the name. Additionally, 单位可能必须安排在自己的服务器上托管域名(如果可用)或与商业互联网服务提供商合作. In such cases, 注册方应负责与该URL的注册或维护相关的任何费用.

为外部用户设置子域名
学术及行政单位, special programs, projects or activities whose websites are housed on the official RWU web server (www.RWU.edu) and are managed by a University Director (or above) can apply for a subdomain name (unitname.RWU.edu) through Web Services.

希望使用RWU的组.在RWU网络服务器以外的校园服务器上的edu . edu地址也必须向网络服务团队提交请求以获得批准. In most cases, 为RWU内的组织或单位, 与申请团体的正式名称或已获批准的名称基本相同的互联网地址将获批准. 例如，RWU法学院将被允许使用“Law”.jazztelfibraoptica.net."

These guidelines apply regardless of whether the subdomain uses rwu.Edu或其他大学或系统拥有的域名. 直接与包含“RWU”或其他正式大学名称的子域请求联系的管理员应该将请求提交给Web服务团队以获得批准.

For more specific information regarding external audience subdomains, please view the 域名政策指南-请求RWU.edu Name below.

设置用于内部使用的子域名
为内部(非公共)管理目的而设置的子域名不需要Web服务团队的批准，但应该提交给Web服务团队 ucomm@jazztelfibraoptica.net
