About the Style Guide

This style guide is maintained by University Communications and Marketing (UCM) to promote consistency in text prepared by UMBC departments and offices, and to promote proper use of UMBC wordmarks, logos, and other elements of the UMBC identity.

This guide is a living document meant to grow and change as needs arise. If the style guide does not answer a particular question related to grammar, capitalization, etc., please consider the Associated Press Style Guide an appropriate resource for those purposes.
