Explain the learning you offer
An institution, a short-course provider and a student community have different purposes. State the audience, subject and format clearly rather than relying on the word college to explain everything.

.college domain names
Give your learning community a home.
A .college domain can give an education-focused project a recognisable address. The registry describes it as available to people and organisations of all types, so the name itself is not proof of institutional status.

Choose with confidence
Is .college right for your idea?
Be precise about outcomes
If you offer courses, explain what completion means and who provides any award. Distinguish informal learning from recognised qualifications and describe any accreditation accurately.
Connect the domain to the right service
Your address can lead to information, applications or a compatible learning platform. Enrolment tools, teaching systems and student accounts need their own setup.

Questions about .college domains
Must I be an accredited college to use .college?
The registry presents .college as a domain for people and organisations of all types. Registration does not provide accreditation, degree-awarding powers or official institutional status.
Which .college registration periods can I choose?
Standard .college registrations are available for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 years. Displayed term prices are full upfront charges. Confirm your term and renewal price at order review.
Can I connect a .college domain to an existing website?
Yes, if the website service supports a custom domain. Follow that service’s DNS instructions. Domain registration and any paid website service are separate.
What happens after I find a domain?
Add one or more available names to your basket, then continue to registration. Enter the owner details and review the registration term and total before payment. Availability is provisional until the registrar confirms registration.
Will UKC charge me automatically at renewal?
No. UKC sends renewal reminders and an invoice. You need to pay the invoice to renew; UKC does not automatically charge you. Keep your contact details current so you receive reminders.
