Should I write CSU Dominguez Hills or Cal State Dominguez Hills? Are there periods in PhD? Do I capitalize faculty members’ official titles?
Whether writing for external or internal audiences, these are the kinds of questions that CSUDH staff often find themselves asking. Our Editorial Style Guide is designed to provide the answers!
The guide offers a quick reference to some of the most frequently questioned styles and was written specifically for CSUDH, using nationally recognized style guides and the California State University system style guide. By following the guide standards, writers uphold CSUDH’s commitment to excellence and professionalism while further strengthening the university’s brand and reputation.
