Welcome to the official university style guide for Point Loma Nazarene University. As an effort to maintain uniformity across campus and in all departments and offices, this guide should be referenced by faculty and staff who help write and edit content for university publication.
If your work involves PLNU publications (printed or online), you often run into questions about common usage of words and phrases. This style guide is here to provide answers. Style, in this context, does not mean not literary style but the mechanics of written language. A common “style” will establish a higher standard of professionalism and clarity. It will prevent writers and editors from inventing a new style in each piece of material and can help PLNU achieve a common voice.
Point Loma Nazarene University utilizes the Associated Press Stylebook as a reference for all printed materials and online publications. It should be considered the university’s official style manual.
