University Policies

NC State’s Board of Trustees established the licensing program to protect the University’s marks, to control product quality, and to prohibit the unauthorized use of university marks on commercial and noncommercial products.

NC State Brand Use and Protection

RUL 01.25.01

Across North Carolina, throughout the United States and around the world, people come to know NC State University (NC State) through its brand. To build a truly global reputation as one of the pre-eminent research institutions, NC State must consistently apply brand standards for effective and consistent communication, while also protecting against the unauthorized use of our brand, marks and logos.

Review the rules.
