¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ 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. ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals Work+, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals website, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals Academic Guidebook, ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals Office of Admission)

¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals is a system of three locations and online programs. We refer to ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals as a singular entity. (i.e. would say ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals “is” instead of ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals “are”)

No need to use an apostrophe (‘) after ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals. Can show ownership without it, and helps better establish our brand identity. Consider restructuring a sentence (i.e. the CIT Department at ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals (preferred) vs. ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Regionals CIT Department.
