More information:

.College is an active generic top level domain (gTLD). It is operated by XYZ, which also operates .xyz, .rent, .security, .protection, .theatre .cars, .car, .auto, and .storage. The purpose of .College is to provide an unrestricted generic platform for colleges, people, and organizations to have a memorable industry-specific name, to build out personal sites, and to have learning resources for their business.

.College domains have been registered in 70 countries as of March 9, 2016.

Mission and Uses

The .College domain extension was created as an open and unrestricted namespace, which allows any organization or individual to expand their global online presence. Educational institutions can use .College domains as short, memorable URLs to direct students to specific departments and programs, (e.g. BostonResearch.College, BostonEngineering.College).

.College domains can also be used by companies to offer continued learning or training programs, or to attract students to open positions and internships with domains like LeadershipTraining.College, NYCInternships.College, or CompanyName.College.

Individuals can also benefit from having a .College domain. Students can upload their CV on their own FirstNameLastName.College domain, researchers can post findings or recent publications on a .College domain, and professors can share course materials and assignments on a .College domain.

Communities and organizations looking to connect members, draw visitors to upcoming events or activities, and organizers promoting special events can secure .College domains to accomplish these goals.

Since .College’s official delegation, many notable .College domains have been registered. Some examples are:
