Official University Websites include the University of Wyoming home page (www.uwyo.edu); academic department and program pages; office, administrative, and support unit pages; news and information pages; and any other World Wide Web address on the uwyo.edu domain that is otherwise sponsored or endorsed or created on authority of a university department or administrative unit.

Requests for Official University Websites are reviewed and approved monthly.
Supplemental Website Addresses
Official University Websites also may use vanity URLs that can be used to publicize events or topics contained on pages within a parent site. For example, a special event could be publicized with the URL uwyo.edu/SpecialEvent that would redirect a visitor to an internal page such as uwyo.edu/sitename/pagename.html.
