The Croatian universities use their symbols, which are mostly
seal-shaped, often circular, and, although the universities themselves
call them "coats of arms", have no heraldic character and
cannot be considered heraldic coats of arms. Most of the symbols
contain inscriptions in Croatian and/or Latin. In the academic
tradition, each university has also an official Latin name.
Generally, no colour is prescribed for them, except for their use on
flags. The university flags are mostly monocoloured, often matching
the colour of the town's flag. As a rule the symbols are prescribed in the
Statutes of each university.

Polytechnics (veleučilište) and colleges of applied sciences (visoke škole) are institutions that organise and implement professional studies.
Polytechnics implement at least three different professional study programmes in at least three fields, while colleges of applied sciences provide specialised professional study programmes in fewer fields.
Important note: Prospective students should be aware that polytechnics may instead use the term "University of Applied Sciences" as the title of their institution. Similarly, certain colleges of applied sciences may instead use the term "University College" or "School" as the title of their institution. This does not indicate an affiliation with any university.
