Campus, College & School Names
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØCampuses
For external audiences, spell out the complete name of a campus the first time you refer to it, unless the context and nature of the document require an abbreviation (for example, in an advertisement). Using the approved university abbreviation on first reference is acceptable for internal audiences when the context allows.
No commas, hyphens or dashes are allowed in the full names of campuses. Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder is always preferred to CU as an abbreviation for the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ campus, even in headlines whenever possible. Approved names and abbreviations for the University of Colorado follow:
- University of Colorado
