Tiers
Curtin’s locations can be referred to by country or city; by campus name; or by a specific name. These are divided into five tiers in Figure 1.
The tier you choose will depend on the audience, distribution and objectives of your communication.
If your communication includes a list or overview of multiple locations, avoid mixing names from different tiers if possible. Some names are common to multiple tiers.
Depending upon the tier you use, the number of Curtin locations will vary between 6 and 12 locations.

|
2.4 Detail on courses and where they’re delivered (national)
These course snapshots are taken from an undergraduate course guide distributed nationally. For this use, tier 3 is sufficient. The audience isn’t interested in wayfinding at this stage – just general location. |

|
3.3 Differentiating between WA locations
This diagram taken from the undergraduate course guide indicates different WA Curtin locations and uses tier 3 names. |
