Headings

Bullet points

Headings 

To assist readability, headings need to follow a structured hierarchy, with a clear distinction between heading sizes.

Sentence case, which has a capital at the beginning of sentences and the initial letter of proper nouns in capitals, is the preferred style for headings:

• Faculty of Health Science but About the faculty
• About UTAS but About the university
  
• Campus information not Campus Information.
  

 Headings must not include punctuation (i.e. a full stop or colon) at the end of the heading.

Bullet points

Use bullet points to break up content, especially on websites, for ease of readability.

The two styles of bullet point lists are:

• incomplete sentences, and
• complete sentences in each bullet point.

For punctation requirements of these two styles, refer to bullet point punctuation.
