As with letterhead, there are standard and specialized envelopes. All units except the UAB Health System will use the standard envelope. The UAB Health System and its components use a slightly different design.

1.  Standard envelopes include the university's wordmark next to the monogram. Specialized Health System envelopes will substitute the Health System wordmark. For both designs, there are two printing choices for the logo:

• two-color, premium-grade paper, logo embossed in the official UAB green
• one-color, economy-grade paper, logo printed in black ink

2.  For standard envelopes, the first line of the return address includes the official name of:

• a school
• a university foundation (like the UAB Research Foundation)
• a Board of Trustees-designated center
• a major facility not part of the UAB Health System or UAB Hospital (for more information on these facilities, contact UAB Health System Marketing)
• a cabinet-level unit (like the Office of the Provost or the Office of the Vice President for Financial Affairs and Administration)
• a unit that reports directly to the president (like the athletic department or Governmental Relations)
• an associate provost- or associate vice president-level office reporting to either the vice president for development, alumni, and external relations or the vice president for financial affairs and administration (like the Office of Public Relations and Marketing)

For specialized envelopes, the first line should list UAB Hospital, UAB Kirklin Clinic, UAB Health Centers, or the UAB Eye Foundation Hospital.

All names should be official names (Department of Philosophy, NOT Philosophy Department).

3.  The second line of the return address is optional and lists the official name of a major department, unit, or division within the unit on the first line.

4.  The mailing address follows U.S. Postal Service guidelines, which require uppercase letters and no punctuation. The UAB campus has been assigned three mailing addresses, and the UAB Print Plant will determine your proper mailing address when envelopes are ordered.
