Facebook supports high school, college and workplace networks. (Till recently, Facebook allowed regional networks too but has done away with the same as regional boundaries continue to get blurred in the realm of internet.) It’s not just a great way to network with your colleagues and classmates but the network gets added to your profile in the ‘Basic Info’ section as well! That looks über cool! 
In case your college or workplace network doesn’t exist on Facebook, you can suggest the network to Facebook via these links:
http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=add_work
http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=add_college
Note: You are required to have a company provided email address (on the company domain) to join your workplace network. For college/university networks however it’s not mandatory.
Soon you will get an automated response from FB with the instructions. You should supply the information sought in the mailer and mail it to
networkrequest@facebook.com
In the subject line, you may write Re: My College/University Network Doesn’t Exist on Facebook Yet. For company network suggestions, you must be mailing from your work email address.
For college/university networks
1. Full name of your school - <full name of your college>
2. City - <city>
3. State, country - <state>, <country>
4. Your school’s website - <write if your school has one>
5. Whether your school provides email addresses to students (yes or no) - <yes/no>
6. Your graduation year - <200x>
7. Please also copy and paste this email -<your FB login mail address>
For workplace networks
1. The name of your workplace - <full name of your workplace>
2. The official website of your workplace - <website>
3. Your official work email address - <company provided email address (mandatory)>
4. A copy of this email - <your FB login mail address>
Now wait for a few days till you get a mail from FB like this.
Hi Nipon,
This network has been added to the site, but may not appear for 24 hours. Once this network appears on the site, you will be able to join the network by selecting “Account Settings” from the Settings drop-down menu and going to the Networks tab. Let me know if you have any further questions.
I had suggested my college network (sponsored link) few days back and it took about 10 days before I got the above reply. Once your network is created, go to the Networks tab in your Facebook account settings page. Start typing your college/workplace name, select it once it appears in the dropdown list and click the Join Network button.
Note: In high school networks, only existing students are allowed to join, not the alum. To be able to join your high school network, you must clearly type out your high school name in full and mention leaving year in your profile info. In the Networks tab in your Facebook account settings page, start typing your high school name, select it once it appears in the dropdown list and click the Join Network button, if you are still attending high school, that is.

Hi, Glad you found this useful. Welcome.

Are you sure you typed the address correctly. It is -
networkrequest@facebook.comThe networkrequest@facebook.com is undeliverable for me as well, has this been depreciated?
Well it is supposed to work. It is not undeliverable for me.
i want a make a friend to help another people.
what about the form for high schools? There is one for college/ universities but I do not see the high school form? I graduated in 2008 and used to be on the High School network but am no longer on because facebook is so dum now that they removed me without my permission!
How can I fix this?
Hi John, Unlike college networks, High school networks are for current students only. Unfortunately, you cannot affiliate with a high school network as an alum.

thnx yr, bt I hv a qstn. Can I do this individually?? I mean is there any requirement of a minimum number of students should apply for a network?? If yes, how many student(minimum) should apply to creat a network??
Hi,
No there is nothing such as far as I know. At least there wasn’t any minimum student criteria when I applied to add my college network on Facebook.
It didn’t answer my question ….. I wan to have a regional network
Regional networks were deprecated long ago. You can read this letter from Mark Zuckerberg for more on this - http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=190423927130
thank you… searched onmany sites..
only u giv the best..
Thanks!
Very useful article…
Hope that my own business get approved - it would be übercool to have my own business’s name under my account name…
Btw, do you maybe know if request are “strictly” moderated, or if they just accept minor business, as long as the information you write into that form are right, without “verifying” them?
One thing they can verify is your email address. Workplace / college email I mean. Besides, I guess Facebook also considers a network if there are enough requests for the same.
I go to the link http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=add_college
to add my college network.
But i can’t find the suggestion box also in my networks.
where is the suggestion box ??
Plz help.
I don’t find the network suggestion in the above link.
And i can’t find it on networks.
I want to suggest a network for my college .
How do i find ?
Plz help ma
The above link is no longer usable nor the e-mail.
The only way at the moment (July, 2011) is to report as a bug or suggestion, and I would recommended you do it multiple times because in most cases they won’t read.
I got my work network added after continuously sending them suggestion messages and bug reports over a month.
Hope this helps.
This web site is really a walk-through for all of the info you wanted about this and didn’t know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you’ll definitely discover it.

I can’t join a network because every time I try it says error something has gone wrong. They don’t ask me for an email, I am sure the network exists, I have tried many networks but can’t join. I sent the bug to facebook with a snapshot, no response.
I don’t understand why facebook can’t just f***ing make their site work properly. Facebook isn’t a site which is very complex to make. Any PHP programmer can make it, It is actually very simple so I truly don’t undertsand why there is always something wrong and something doesn’t work and THEY NEVER FIX IT. Facebook should do their best to fix before they get overrun by new better social networks which actually work.
So… facebook won’t send my school e-mail an e-mail! It’s impossible to join my university network because of this. Anyone have the same problem?
