Capitalisation and underlining
Capitalise the 'U' when using the University's full title and when referring to the University specifically. Use a lower case 'u' when referring to universities in general.
eg At the University of Hertfordshire you will find excellent learning facilities. The University is a market leader...

When referring to the University, use the full title wherever possible. Avoid using 'UH'. Where it is unavoidable eg in running text where you need to refer to the University many times and have previously used the full title followed by the abbreviated form in brackets. This form should not be used in titles or as the first reference. For internal
communications, the form UH is acceptable as a convenient shorthand in documents which are unlikely to reach an external audience.

Do not use a capital 'T' for 'the' University of Hertfordshire except as normal punctuation requires at the beginning of a sentence.

Capitalise formal titles of office holders before a name but lower case for subsequent informal references or for generic job titles. eg …and Vice-Chancellor Professor Quintin McKellar attended the meeting. The vice-chancellor commented that...

Note: vice-chancellor is hyphenated.

Colons and semi-colons
A semicolon (;) is not quite a full stop. It divides clauses which are related but which could be sentences standing alone and where a full stop could be used.

Do not use semicolons to separate lists unless individual listed items contain commas and/or conjunctions – when semicolons should be used for clarity.

A colon (:) points forward to an illustration, a conclusion, a list.

Commas
If you enclose a phrase in a pair of commas remember to include the final closing comma as well as the opening comma.

Do not use commas to splice whole sentences. Use a conjunction (eg and, because) or full stop.

It is fine to use a comma before 'and' or 'or' in a list of 3 or more items ('the Oxford comma') where it helps to clarify meaning. For example, 'The Schools of Pharmacy, Art and Design, Psychology, and Humanities…'
