New subdomain request

Whether or not a site is permitted to have its own subdomain is subject to the discretion of WashU Medicine Marketing & Communications and cannot be guaranteed. The subdomain approval process can take up to three weeks.

Existing website’s address: *

List your top three subdomain choices in order of preference: *

Do any of your requested subdomains include an acronym? *

Yes, at least one has an acronym or other abbreviation

No acronyms here!

Note on acronyms

Remember to avoid acronyms that are unfamiliar to your audience. Real words are typically easier to process and remember than acronyms, so shorter isn’t necessarily better.

On the other hand, more widely known acronyms, such as HR for Human Resources, can make effective subdomains.
