Locations and Division

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals

Always first mentioned at the beginning of a story, letter, etc.

When referring to a program, department, or a component of our identity, an apostrophe is not needed to show ownership (i.e. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals Work+, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals website, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals Academic Guidebook, ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals Office of Admission)

ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University Regionals is a system of three locations and online programs. We refer to ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals as a singular entity. (i.e. would say ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals “is” instead of ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals “are”)

No need to use an apostrophe (‘) after ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals. Can show ownership without it, and helps better establish our brand identity. Consider restructuring a sentence (i.e. the CIT Department at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals (preferred) vs. ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Regionals CIT Department.
