Extended Profiles Renamed

The Extended Profile content type has been renamed to Department Directory Listing.  This change has made to avoid confusion caused with a person having only profile but multiple extended profiles.

University & Associated Press (AP Style) Web Content Tip: Time Format

Please remember this list of tips to avoid some of the most common mistakes we see on Â鶹ÊÓƵ web pages.

Format time appropriately, according to AP Style Guidelines:

  • Times at the top of the hour do not have the minutes added, all other times should display the minutes.

  • Ante meridiem (times from midnight until before noon) is displayed as a.m. - post meridiem (time from noon, until before midnight) is displayed as p.m.

  • Noon is not capitalized.

  • Using either a hyphen or an em dash between times is acceptable to connect a timeframe.

Examples of correct usage are displayed below:

  • 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

  • 8:15 a.m. — noon
