Usage guidelines

  • Use only the artwork issued for your university and edition year.
  • Do not modify colors, proportions, seal, or the GURI wordmark.
  • Request updated artwork each year — older editions expire when the next publishes.
  • Always reference "GURI 1970" or the relevant edition near the certificate.
