Re: Website Name and Contents
No problem registering a site called MSUFriends.com. No one should mistake it for an official site.
The college has no way of preventing you from listing courses that are available, but I doubt you can force them to give you a digital listing of the classes (at least without paying for them).
You can always order a course catalog. No, you can't force the college bookstore to give you their business information, you'll have to get it directly from the college. I don't think there's any precedent for forcing a college to give you course-book correlations. If you requested the information through the freedom of information act, they may not have to give it to you unless the information were already compiled somewhere in the system.
