Members of the Malaspina community are encouraged to use this guide for reference when producing materials for students, potential students, employees, and members of the public. Our institution is generally referred to as Malaspina University-College. When it is necessary to refer to a specific campus, it can be referred to as Malaspina University-College, Cowichan campus, etc. Faculty from this University-College are involved in the research.
Many students enrol in university-college courses.
In a formal context, such as letters, there is a tendency to capitalize all titles, departments, etc. Reader surveys have shown that liberal use of capitalization makes a document harder to read, especially in a publication with narrow columns. Titles of the President, Board Chair, and all Deans are capitalized when they precede a name. Beyond that, our practice is to capitalize the components of a title, department, program or committee that distinguish it from other titles, departments, programs, or committees. We use italics for the names of books, magazines, plays, courses, conferences, reports, etc.
