Use of the University’s Brand
The University’s Communications Directorate is responsible for managing the University of Ottawa brand and official marks that are owned by the University, such as the name of the University (in French and in English), “uOttawa”, the uOttawa logo, “Defy the conventional”, “Défier les conventions”, and related designs or logos. Generally, the University allows the internal use of its brand and official marks for University purposes and for the positive promotion of the institution.
All other uses or third-party requests to use the University of Ottawa brand or official marks require the written permission of the University prior to such use. Please send all requests for use of the University of Ottawa logo and official marks to [email protected]. The University may, at its sole discretion, decide not to grant permission. Unauthorized use of the University’s brand or official marks is prohibited.
