Tips

  • Do not add extra icons or logos; images can come across as attachments and appear chaotic
  • Personal quotes or philosophical statements should not be included as part of your signature

Students

There are no guidelines for student signatures. We recommend a simple, easy-to-read signature that includes your full name, email, and phone number. 

Please note the UCalgary logo is reserved for official institutional use and should not be added to student signatures. View our student resources for more info.
