FIN-12.01-04/20 - Use of UWF Licensed Marks

The UWF Collegiate Licensing Program is the vehicle through which the university grants permission for the use of the University's marks.

Any manufacturer of products bearing any University of West Florida mark, including items not for resale, must be properly licensed before offering such goods for sale. Please keep in mind that licensed vendors are required to submit artwork containing any UWF mark(s) to CLC for approval prior to sale. UWF departments placing orders from licensed vendors should plan to allow time for the approval process, normally one to two days.

UWF community seeking vendors who are licensed with UWF will find instructions for accessing the Licensee Search below.

UWF Logo(s) Use or other brand-related questions for internal campus use, should be directed to the UWF Brand Portal or Institutional Communications, at brand@uwf.edu for more information or to obtain artwork.
