Domain names

The Office of Communication and Marketing (Marcom) oversees USC Annenberg’s domain registrar account which houses all non-usc.edu domain names owned by the school. All new domain names should be registered by the school’s domain registrar account or coordinated with Marcom for domains ending in usc.edu. Domain names registered outside of the school’s domain registrar account are the sole responsibility of the person and department registering them. This includes DNS configuration and domain renewals. Please email ascweb@usc.edu if you have any questions.

Requesting a new domain name

If you’d like to request a new domain name, please email ascweb@usc.edu with the following:

• The domain name you’d like to reserve.
• Contact information for the person responsible for the domain.
• Brief description of what the domain will be used for.
• Alternative domain names if the primary name isn’t available.
