A U.Ed. number is a number assigned by the University editor representative to all promotional publications. The U.Ed. number serves several purposes:
- To indicate that the publication has been reviewed and meets University editorial and visual standards. These standards can be found in the Penn State Brand Book’s Editorial Standards and Visual Identity Standards, as well as the Chicago Manual of Style.
- To create a record of the promotional materials produced by certain departments within the University.
- To identify the unit that produced the publication.
