==Arms== The university's coat of arms was officially granted on 15 March 1962. It built on Sussex's history and features two Saxon crowns and a [[Sable (heraldry)|sable]] (black) dolphin. The arms also features six [[martlets]], a mythical bird without feet that traditionally represents continuous effort, as per the traditional emblem of East and West Sussex counties. On either side of the arms are two pelicans, head bowed down, each standing upon a book and supporting a staff.<ref>{{cite web |title=University of Sussex β Coat of arms (crest) of University of Sussex |url=http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=University_of_Sussex |website=ngw.nl| date=March 2025 }}</ref> Since 2011, the coat of arms is only used by the graduation team and on official university degrees.
