Style Exception Process

Exceptions to this style guide are allowed if a compelling business justification/need is presented. To request an exemption from this style guide, please contact the LibGuides Department Administrator in your department.

Exception Process:

  1. Exception requests are vetted by the Department Administrator to determine if the request is:

    • technologically feasible;

    • if there is a compelling business justification/need; and

    • if the department wants to recommend the exception.

  2. LibGuide System Administrators review requests from the Department Administrator to determine if the request is:

    • technologically feasible; and

    • if there is a compelling business justification/need.

  3. Executive Director for the Office of Academic Support reviews requests to make the final determination if the exception will be granted.
