Capitalization

• In general, avoid unnecessary capitalization.
• Headlines: Use sentence case 鈥� capitalize only the first word and any proper nouns.
• Titles: Lowercase formal titles when used alone or when set off from a name by commas (Joe Husky, dean of the College of Engineering, will open the meeting). Capitalize formal titles when they precede a name (Dean Husky).
  • See Word Usage and Style entry on academic titles.
• Boards, committees: Lowercase terms such as聽board of directors听(Joe Husky is on the board of directors at ABC Corp.) unless it鈥檚 part of a proper name (糖心少女Alumni Association Board of Directors).
  • See word list entry on committees, boards and leadership terms.
• Departments: Capitalize the formal name of an academic department (the 糖心少女 Department of Communication); lowercase the informal name except for words that are proper nouns or adjectives (the geography department, the law school, the Italian department).
  • See word list entry on departments, colleges.
• Capitalize places, buildings and monuments such as聽Suzzallo Library,听Mary Gates Hall,听the Ave,听the Quad,听University Bridge, etc.
• Lowercase academic season and quarters:听autumn聽quarter, winter quarter 2019.
• 尝辞飞别谤肠补蝉别听state聽when referencing the聽state of Washington聽辞谤听Washington state.
  • See word list entry on Washington state.

• 颁补辫颈迟补濒颈锄别听committee聽only when it is part of a formal name: the Arboretum and Botanical Garden Committee.

• Lowercase the informal name (except for words that are proper nouns or adjectives): the geography department, the history department, the law school, the Italian department, the department of English.

Numbers

a.m., p.m.

• Lowercase with periods.
• Include a space between the numeral and聽a.m.聽辞谤听p.m.: 10 a.m.

dates

• Use cardinal, not ordinal, numbers:听April 1, not聽April 1st;听July 4, not聽July 4th.
• Use a comma before and after the year if placing a full date (month + day + year) within a sentence:听The board met on September 25, 2014, to review the report.
  • Note that while AP style uses abbreviations for months (Sept.), it is also acceptable to spell out the entire month in text when space permits.
• Do not use a comma if only listing the month and year:听The board will meet in December 2015.

fiscal years

• The UW鈥檚 fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30. It can be named with both calendar years or with just the closing year: The fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024, can be referred to as fiscal year 2025, fiscal year 2024鈥�25, FY2025, or FY25.

graduating year

• When using the shortened two-digit year, use a true apostrophe before the year 鈥� not a C-shaped single opening quotation mark:听鈥�25. The apostrophe is shaped like a聽backwards聽C. In Mac OS it鈥檚 typed with Opt-Shift-] (Option-Shift-right-bracket). In Windows, it can be typed with alt 0146.
• It鈥檚 appropriate to identify the graduating years of alumni and current students, usually on first reference.
• Examples showing appropriate usage:
  • Jay Inslee, 鈥�73, gave a speech at the event.
  • Clara McCarty, B.A. 1876, was the University鈥檚 first graduate.
  • Congrats, Class of 鈥�28!

numerals

• Spell out聽one听迟丑谤辞耻驳丑听nine.
• Use figures f辞谤听10聽and above and whenever preceding a unit of measure or referring to ages:听the 9-year-old building;听the 5-year-old boy. Also use figures for academic course numbers:听History 6,听Philosophy 101.
  • Exception: spell out casual expressions, such as a聽picture is worth a thousand words.
• Spell out numbers that begin a sentence (or recast the sentence so it doesn鈥檛 begin with a number):听Forty people attended the lecture.

percent

• In running text, use figures and the % sign:听The poll shows that聽45% of students agree with the initiative.
  • In charts, graphs and聽other聽visual mediums (such as ads), as well as social media聽and other communications where space is limited, the percent sign is also preferred. In these cases, it may be acceptable to start a full sentence with a numeral:听33% of Huskies are first-generation college students.
• Percent聽takes a singular verb when standing alone or when a singular word follows an聽of 肠辞苍蝉迟谤耻肠迟颈辞苍:听The profess辞谤听says that 70% is a passing grade. It takes a plural verb when a plural word follows an聽of聽肠辞苍蝉迟谤耻肠迟颈辞苍:听She notes that聽50% of the attendees were women.

Punctuation

ampersands

• Use only if part of a formal name. Otherwise spell out聽and:听College of Arts & Sciences, 糖心少女Professional & Continuing Education, computing and software systems.

commas (serial comma)

• Do not use聽a serial comma in a simple series of nouns or phrases:听red, white and blue听(no comma before 鈥渁nd鈥�).
• 鲍蝉别听a serial comma before the terminal conjunction in a complex series or in other cases where the comma provides clarity and improves readability:听糖心少女Medicine provides primary and specialty care to patients throughout the Pacific Northwest, trains medical professionals and scientists, and conducts biomedical and health services research.

dashes and hyphens

• A hyphen (-) connects two words when they function as one word 鈥� most often, as an adjective describing a noun. Examples: life-changing experience, cutting-edge technology. Use a hyphen when the compound comes before the noun, but usually not when it鈥檚 after the noun, unless necessary for clarity. Examples: small-business owner, but she owns a small business. Exception: No hyphen used in compounds with -ly adverbs: a quickly changing situation, a beautifully painted mural. See AP Stylebook for more detailed guidance.
• An en dash (named because it鈥檚 the width of the letter 鈥渘鈥�) is used between ranges of numbers or dates, and between adjectival phrases containing two-word concepts:听2011鈥�14,听pages 226鈥�229,听Seattle鈥揝an Francisco flight.
  • Do not use spaces before or after the en dash.
  • In text, use the words聽from听补苍诲听to聽instead of a dash:听He attended every home football game from 1980 to 1990.
• An em dash (the width of the letter 鈥渕鈥�) has many uses, including: to set off a nonessential element that requires special emphasis, to set off a series with commas within a phrase or to indicate an abrupt change.聽Shyam Gollakota, an assistant professor in the wireless lab at the UW, is developing battery-free devices 鈥� some just half the size of a credit card 鈥� that can reflect and absorb surrounding radio signals.
  • Use a space on either side of the em dash.
  • When a parenthetical phrase in the middle of a sentence is set off with dashes, the phrase must be nonrestrictive 鈥� that is, the sentence would still make sense if you removed the parenthetical phrase. If that鈥檚 not the case, then em-dashes are not the right solution.
  • In typesetting, especially display text, it鈥檚 best to avoid starting a line with an em dash; better to have the dash fall at the end of the previous line.
  • To maintain the deliberate, emphatic effect of em dashes, use them sparingly and thoughtfully.

ellipsis ( 鈥� )

• Use three periods with a space before and after the ellipsis:听And then 鈥�

Word usage and style

abbreviations and acronyms

• Spell out for first citation and follow with the abbreviation or acronym in parentheses:听The Center for Engineering Learning & Teaching (CELT) adopted new procedures. CELT focuses its research on 鈥�
• Avoid overuse of acronyms; include only if necessary to clarify multiple references in copy or if the organization/program/etc. is more commonly known by an acronym.

academic courses

• Capitalize formal names of academic courses per standard capitalization rules for composition titles (do not enclose in quotation marks): History of Architecture; Basic Concepts of New Media.
• Enclose more descriptive names of courses in quotation marks and use standard capitalization rules for composition titles: 鈥淭he Arts of Japan: A Visual and Cultural History.鈥�

academic degrees

• Avoid degree abbreviations if possible. If degree information is essential to the story, try to embed more descriptive, humanizing language in the text: 鈥溙切纳倥甮ynecologic oncologist Jane Husky addressed the group鈥� instead of 鈥淛ane Husky, M.D., addressed the group.鈥�
• Use an apostrophe in聽bachelor鈥檚 degree,听a master鈥檚, etc. This less formal usage is preferred over聽Bachelor of Arts in X,听Master of Science in X, etc.
• Use periods when abbreviating: B.A., B.S., M.A., M.S., Ph.D. (Note no periods in聽MBA.) Use abbreviations only when it is necessary to identify many individuals by degree on first reference and the preferred descriptive method is too cumbersome.
  • Use abbreviations only after a full name and set the abbreviation off by commas: Jane Husky, Ph.D., spoke at the conference.
• Do not combine a courtesy title with an academic degree.
  • Incorrect: Dr. Jane Husky, Ph.D.
  • Correct: Jane Husky, Ph.D. or Dr. Jane Husky.

academic season and quarters

• Lowercase:听autumn quarter or winter quarter 2019.

academic titles

• Capitalize and spell out formal titles such as聽chancellor, chair, dean聽辞谤听provost聽when they precede a name. Lowercase elsewhere.

• Lowercase modifiers such as聽department.
  • E.g., 鈥� department Chairwoman Jane Husky.

active voice vs. passive voice

• Use active voice whenever possible:听Mr. Husky gave聽a generous gift to the College of Arts & Sciences听(active) instead of聽The generous gift was given to the College of Arts & Sciences by Mr. Husky听(passive).

campus references and 糖心少女brands

• • In the noun form, always include the article (the): This year, the 糖心少女 will host the conference. Researchers at the 糖心少女are working to cure diseases.
  • In the adjective form, omit the article (the): 糖心少女 students traveled to Olympia to meet with legislators. Renowned for international collaboration, 糖心少女researchers are leading the way.

  • Do not use the term聽branch campus.
  • Tacoma campus听补苍诲听Bothell campus聽are also acceptable (do not capitalize聽campus).
  • Limit the use of聽Seattle campus. Instead try rephrasing: At the 糖心少女 in Seattle 鈥�
  • Avoid using聽UWT聽辞谤听UWB聽except in internal documentation.
• See entry on聽糖心少女Medicine.
• See entry on聽糖心少女Online.
• See entry on聽糖心少女Professional & Continuing Education, UWPCE.

composition titles

• Capitalize principal words in composition titles, including prepositions and conjunctions of four or more letters (also known as title case).
• Do not italicize or use quotation marks聽with newspaper or magazine names. 颁补辫颈迟补濒颈锄别听the聽in the name if that is the publication鈥檚 preferred style.
• 鲍蝉别听quotation marks around titles of books, songs, computer games, movies, operas, plays, poems, long musical compositions, television programs, specific episodes of television programs, lectures, speeches and works of art.
  • Do not聽use quotation marks with聽books that are primarily catalogs of reference material (Webster鈥檚 New World Dictionary of the American Language); holy books, such as the Bible; and certain historical documents, such as the U.S. Constitution (or just 鈥渢he Constitution鈥�) and the Declaration of Independence.
  • Do not use quotation marks聽with course titles:听Introduction to Anthropology; Concepts in Printmaking;

contractions

• Use contractions to maintain a conversational tone when it鈥檚 appropriate for the audience and platform.

gender-specific language

• Avoid language that indicates gender unless it is truly necessary; never assume gender.
• 鲍蝉别听chair聽to refer to the head of a committee, unless the official title is chairman or chairwoman:听Was a new chair elected at the meeting?
• 鲍蝉别听spokesperson聽instead of聽spokesman/spokeswoman, unless the person鈥檚 gender preference is known.

geographic regions

• 尝辞飞别谤肠补蝉别听north, south, northeast, etc., when they indicate compass direction: They drove east.
• Capitalize when they designate regions: The Pacific Northwest is a hub of innovation. The storm swept across the Midwest.

headlines, headings and subheads

• Capitalize only the first word and any proper nouns (also聽known聽as sentence case).
• If a colon is used, capitalize the first word after the colon.

majors/minors

• Lowercase except for proper nouns or adjectives: The award recipient majored in anthropology and minored in European studies.

names of people

• In narrative text, use a person鈥檚 full name聽at first reference.

• For subsequent references, use only聽the person鈥檚 last name, per AP Style and common journalistic practice. There are exceptions where the first name may be used on its own in subsequent references, but this is much more casual. Consider聽which聽option is most appropriate f辞谤听your audience and platform, and聽stay consistent throughout.

photo captions

• Use the present tense:听Jane Husky poses with Dubs during W Day festivities.

quarters, terms, academic seasons (capitalization of)

• Lowercase academic quarters: spring quarter, winter quarter.

rankings

• 鲍蝉别听No.聽as the abbreviation for number to indicate position or rank: The 糖心少女is ranked No. 1 in XYZ.
• For rankings where the 糖心少女does not rank first, the preferred usage is: According to XYZ, the 糖心少女ranks third in 鈥�

trademarks

• The symbols 庐 and 鈩�, often used by companies in ads and product packaging, are one way that companies protect their intellectual property 鈥� but it’s not necessary for others to use these marks. Avoid unless there’s a need for the 糖心少女to protect a trademark that it owns.

URLs

• 糖心少女style for URLs is all-lowercase whenever possible, and without anything extraneous: uw.edu, admit.uw.edu, 耻飞.别诲耻/补产辞耻迟/补肠补诲别尘颈肠蝉.听In most cases, no “http://” and no final slash.
• Much of the time, no initial “www” is necessary 鈥� but check to make sure the page will load without it. It’s preferable to omit it when possible.
• Many 鈥� but not all 鈥� 糖心少女websites and pages will load using the uw.edu domain as well as washington.edu. Whenever possible, use the shorter uw.edu 鈥� but again, always check to make sure the site will load that way. There are some 糖心少女sites that require washington.edu.

 

Word list

acknowledgment

• Per and , the standard form is聽acknowledgment 鈥� no “e” after the “g.” (Note especially for land acknowledgments.)

adviser

• 狈辞迟听advisor. (Note exception: 糖心少女Medicine uses聽patient advisors.)

alumna, alumnae, alumni, alumnus

• 鲍蝉别听alumnus听(alumni聽in the plural) when referring to a man who has attended a school;听alumna(alumnae聽in the plural) for a woman.
• 鲍蝉别听alumni聽when referring to a mixed-gender group.
• There’s currently no gender-neutral term that’s the singular of alumni. It’s OK to use alum聽to work around this problem in some contexts 鈥� but keep in mind that many readers will see this as casual or slang usage, so it may not be appropriate for more formal communication. Consider recasting with聽graduate or other synonym.
• If degree information is essential to the story, use description in the text rather than listing degree information: Before completing her biochemistry degree in 2012, Jane Husky 鈥�
  • If space is too limited for description, such as in a photo caption, include the graduation year after the name with commas on either side: Joe Husky, 鈥�79, accepted the award.
  • See entry on聽academic degrees.

bachelor鈥檚, bachelor鈥檚 degree, B.A., B.F.A., B.S.

• See entry on聽academic degrees.

Be Boundless

• The UW鈥檚 tagline. As text within copy, title case (capitalize the first letter of each word): Be Boundless.
• Do not italicize (only the graphic version is italicized, and it should not be modified in any way).
• When using the tagline as a graphic element, do not modify the formatting.
• 尝辞飞别谤肠补蝉别听boundless聽when using the word聽on its own in copy.

Burke Museum

• On first reference: The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
• Subsequent references: The Burke Museum or The Burke.

campuswide

• One word, not hyphenated.

coworker

• No hyphen (exception to AP style).

dorm/dormitory

• Use residence hall instead, wherever possible. A 鈥渄orm鈥� is a building, while a 鈥渞esidence hall鈥� connotes a living community.

faculty

• When referring to an academic body, treat聽faculty聽as a collective noun taking a singular verb: The UW鈥檚 faculty leads the nation in securing research funding.
• 鲍蝉别听faculty members聽with a plural verb when referring to several individuals: Faculty members in the arts department are restructuring the curriculum.

first-year, first-year student

• Use 鈥渇irst-year student鈥� or 鈥渇irst-year鈥� (instead of 鈥渇reshman鈥�) to describe undergraduates in their first year of college after high school. “First-year” instead of “freshman” avoids an unnecessarily gendered term; it鈥檚 consistent with usage at our peer colleges and universities across the U.S., including the majority of other Big Ten schools; and it provides clarity of meaning.
• As a noun: 鈥渇irst-year” or “first-year student.鈥�
  • All first-year students are assigned an academic adviser. First-years admitted directly to a major will work with an adviser from their department.
• As an adjective: “first-year”:
  • first-year applicants
  • first-year class
• Hyphenation: For clarity, 鈥渇irst-year鈥� is hyphenated as a noun or an adjective.
• Capitalization: In general, 鈥渇irst-year鈥� is lowercase just like 鈥渟ophomore,鈥� 鈥渏unior鈥� and 鈥渟enior.鈥� In titles and other proper nouns where the word would be capitalized, capitalize both parts of the term.
  • First-Year Orientation
  • First-Year Film Club

聽 聽 聽But at the start of a sentence when not part of a proper noun, capitalize only the 鈥淔,鈥� as with any other common noun at the start of a sentence:

• • First-years who live off campus can also use the makerspaces. We welcome first-years to participate.
• First-years include students who may have come in with college credits earned during high school but who are not transfer students.
• Occasionally, replacing 鈥渇reshman鈥� with 鈥渇irst-year鈥� can introduce some ambiguity: Does 鈥渇irst-year orientation鈥� include new transfer students? In these cases, adding a qualifier like 鈥渇irst-year student,鈥� 鈥渇irst-year college student鈥� or 鈥渇irst-year undergraduate鈥� may make it clearer.
• There may be places where 鈥渇reshman鈥� really does provide helpful clarity and 鈥渇irst-year鈥� is confusing. In most uses, it鈥檚 possible to use 鈥渇irst-year鈥� with modifiers (鈥渇irst-year college student鈥�) and avoid 鈥渇reshman.鈥� But if an occasional 鈥渇reshman鈥� is truly the best and clearest option, it鈥檚 OK as long as it鈥檚 infrequent.

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center

• Previously known as Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance; these names are now out of date and should not be used.
• 鈥淔red Hutch鈥� OK on second reference. Do not use other shortened forms or nicknames.
