# How do I register a UCLA Domain Name?

My department chair asked me to come up with a short, catchy, stand-out domain name, how do I know whether I can do this and, if so, how do I go about registering it?

<span class="caps">UCLA</span> Policy 411 deals with the registration and use of <span class="caps">UCLA</span> domain names and can be found at: [<span class="caps">UCLA</span> Policy 411 – Registration and Use of <span class="caps">UCLA</span> Domain Names](http://www.adminpolicies.ucla.edu/app/Default.aspx?&id=411)

Once you understand the policies that pertain to your request, the next step is to follow the steps detailed here:
