1. All UConn websites must be compliant with University web standards, so please review the standards before beginning your request. The standards are updated periodically, so be sure to review the standards before each request.
2. Review the eligibility information below.
3. In order to use Aurora, our WordPress system, users must take our online Aurora WordPress Training.
4. Consider a few key questions:
  - Should this be a new, separate website or would this content fit better within an existing site?
  - Is there enough content to support a new website and is there a plan for how it will be maintained?

Domain Names

Specific domains may no longer be requested. You will be provided with a domain name, based on the University’s domain structure and best practices for SEO.
All new accounts will be setup with draft prefix, for instance:

draft.sitename.dept.uconn.edu

draft.fn-ln.scholar.uconn.edu

draft.sitename.uh.uconn.edu (UConn Health)

When the site is ready to GO-LIVE, we will remove the word draft.

This request is being sent sent to Communications, the affiliation communicator and WebDev. It may take time to assign the appropriate domain. Once the domain has been approved, it may take 2-3 days to create the account.
