125 Years at the Edge In Knowledge

The Great Seal of NJIT is a shield bearing the symbols of the six schools of the university, enclosed in a circular ring with the inscription, "New Jersey Institute of Technology, Founded 1881."  It is a registered service mark of the university.  The seal may be blind-embossed, printed in black only, or printed in red and black.  It may not be altered or distorted in any way, and it may not be used in combination with the university logo.

Uses of the Seal:
Use of the seal is restricted to official applications approved by the university.  It is primarily used for formal academic and legal documents, including diplomas, transcripts, contracts and affiliation agreements.  The seal also appears on flags and banners used at official university ceremonies; these banners reside with the university Office of Special Events, and their use requires the approval of the Executive Director of University Communications.  Permission to reproduce the seal on souvenir and gift items may also be granted by the Executive Director.

It is not a communications symbol, and may not be used on letterhead, business cards, invitations, programs, publications and other printed materials, web sites, or other uses more appropriate to the university.

Authority to reproduce the Great Seal of NJIT resides with four offices of the university:

• The Office of the President
• The Office of the Registrar, for use on transcripts.
• The Office of the Vice President for Finance, who may affix the seal to formal legal and financial documents.
• The Office of University Communications, which must review and approve all printed uses of the seal
