UVic Style Guide overview
The UVic Editorial Style Guide applies to all general, promotional and marketing communications materials, official correspondence, and reports and submissions to university governing bodies. It is not intended to apply to teaching, scholarly or research texts.
Spelling authority
The university uses the Canadian Oxford Dictionary as its spelling authority. It can be searched online via the UVic Library.
Updates
Any style guide, this one included, is a work in progress. As new editorial questions arise and language and usage change, the style guide will evolve. University Communications and Marketing welcomes input from users to make this guide more useful. This site will announce additions, changes and updates to the guide.
