Overview
Student groups and other campus organizations cannot represent themselves as speaking on behalf of UCLA. For that reason, there are limitations on naming and on the use of protected UCLA marks and assets.
Student groups and other campus organizations cannot represent themselves as speaking on behalf of UCLA. For that reason, there are limitations on naming and on the use of protected UCLA marks and assets.
“UCLA” and “University of California Los Angeles” can only be used by registered campus groups as a geographical designation, e.g. “Student Group Name at UCLA.”
Refer to Policy 110 for more detail on how to use UCLA’s name and marks.
While groups can use “at UCLA” and “at University of California Los Angeles” in their names, there are guidelines for typesetting. For example, the campus name should be set in the same typeface as the student group name. The campus name should not be italicized and the typesetting cannot resemble UCLA’s official logos.
Campus groups may not use UCLA’s primary logos at all. Registered campus groups are only allowed to use two protected UCLA marks: #58 and #62 located on the UCLA Art Sheet April 2018. The marks may be “texturized,” as long as the original shape and structure of the mark is intact.
Groups and organizations can create their own artwork as long as it does not replicate or resemble protected UCLA marks. Groups can also create and use illustrations and drawings of UCLA buildings and landmarks (such as Royce Hall or Janss Steps). However, groups are not allowed to use artwork featuring or portraying UCLA people (alumni, faculty, etc.), or any copyrighted materials/objects on campus (e.g. sculptures in the Sculpture Garden).

Remember: all use and application of the UCLA campus name and marks requires university approval. Visit marks.ucla.edu to request approval.
