Permission is not required to use the words 'campus' or 'college' in the name of a business. As noted in guidance provided by the Companies Registration Office, only the terms “University” and “Institute of Technology” or “Regional Technical College” cannot be used unless permission has been sought from and granted by my Department. As such, no application needs to be made to my Department to use 'campus' or 'college' in the name of a business.
