Pinyin (拼音, pīnyīn) literally means "join (together) sounds" (a less literal translation being "phoneticize", "spell" or "transcription") in Chinese and usually refers to Hànyǔ Pīnyīn (汉语拼音, literal meaning: "Han language pinyin"), which is a system of romanization (phonetic notation and transliteration to roman script) for Standard Mandarin used in the People's Republic of China.
Pinyin was approved in 1958 and adopted in 1979 by its government.
It is important to maintain the distinction that pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it is equally applicable for transliteration into any language that uses a roman alphabet, but that the precise pronunciation need not match that of any of these languages.

Hanyu Pinyin was approved in 1958 and adopted in 1979 by the government in the People's Republic of China.
Pinyin is a romanization and not an anglicization; that is, it uses Roman letters to represent sounds in Standard Mandarin.
This argument revolves around pinyin's unconventional use of Roman letters, of which the phonological values of some phonemes are quite different from that of most languages utilizing the Roman alphabet.

 Pinyin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinyin is a system of romanization (phonemic notation and transcription to Roman script) for Standard Mandarin, where pin means "spell" and yin means "sound".
Hanyu Pinyin was adopted in 1979 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the standard romanization for modern Chinese (ISO-7098:1991).
Pinyin uses the Roman alphabet, hence the pronunciation is relatively straightforward for Westerners.

 Pinyin - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Pinyin (; ;), also known as scheme of the Chinese phonetic alphabet (; ;), while pin means "spell(ing)" and yin means "sound(s)"), is a system of romanization (phonemic notation and transcription to Roman script) for Standard Mandarin.
For example, the sounds indicated in pinyin by b and p are distinguished from each other (by aspiration) in a manner different from that of both English (which has voicing and aspiration) and of French (which has voicing alone).
Pinyin vowels are pronounced similarly to vowels in Romance languages, and most consonants are similar to English.

 Wade-Giles - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
It was the main system of transliteration in the English-speaking world for most of the 20th century, replacing the Nanjing-based romanization systems that had been common until late in the 19th century.
It was mostly replaced by Pinyin system today but its use can still be seen in Taiwan.
This origin has led to a general sense that the system is non-intuitive for non-specialists and not useful for teaching Chinese pronunciation.

In the early twentieth century, China (starting with the dying Qing Empire) used Postal (Office) System Pinyin (Traditional Chinese:郵政式拼音 Pinyin: Yóuzhèngshì Pīnyīn) (unrelated to the modern Hanyu Pinyin), based on Wade-Giles (in particularly, Herbert Giles's A Chinese-English Dictionary) for postal purposes, especially for placenames on letters and stamps, and was not for universal usage.

On the Chinese mainland, Zhuyin Fuhao was superseded by the pinyin system promulgated by the People's Republic of China, although the pronunciation of words in standard dictionaries are given in both pinyin and Zhuyin.
Unlike pinyin, the sole purpose for Zhuyin in elementary education is to teach Standard Mandarin pronunciation to children.
The tone marks are similar to the later developed Pinyin tone symbols, except that the first tone has no symbolization at all, and the neutral tone appears as a fl dot.

That page produced results in two systems: Tongyong Pinyin 通用拼音, in which the word is spelled “Dasyue” and Hanyu Pinyin 漢語拼音 in which the word is spelled “Daxue”.
It is interesting that Hanyu Pinyin is provided as an alternative, since the Tongyong is favored by the ruling party (the DPP); however, it makes sense since several regions of Taiwan (including KMT ruled Taipei and Taipei county) now use Hanyu Pinyin.
Since the Postal Service no longer seems to use a modified Wade-Giles, I suppose the university should pick either Tongyong Pinyin or Hanyu Pinyin for the address; but such standardization would just seem so un-Taiwanese.
