NSU STYLE MANUAL 3 To reduce the resulting confusion, use the specific degree instead of the term doctor when describing a person with a doctorate. • John Jones, Ph.D., will speak at graduation. • NOT Dr. John Jones will speak at graduation. See also capitalization and titles of people. Academical Village This is capitalized when referring to NSU’s Academical Village (NOTE: not Academic or Academics Village). • NSU’s Academical Village will have apartments and learning spaces. • Thomas Jefferson believed in the idea of an academical village. accents and diacritical marks Use only on words that are still considered foreign—not on words commonly used in American English, like rendezvous. Here’s the test: If a word appears in the main section of an American English dictionary (and not in an appendix on foreign words and phrases), you can consider it assimilated. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as café. See also foreign words and résumé. accreditation statement NSU’s accreditation statement, provided by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC), is included on larger publications—such as catalogs, handbooks, and NSU websites. However, it only needs to be included in other documents (such as flyers and advertisements), if they mention SACSCOC accreditation. If NSU programs are mentioned, but accreditation is not being discussed, the SACSCOC accreditation statement does not need to be included. To meet the SACSCOC standards, it must be used verbatim, as provided here by the Office of Printing and Publications (PUB). If you are unsure if an accreditation is needed, contact PUB.
