Email Signatures

Your email signature is often an opportunity to make a good first impression as a representative of UCF.

  • Please limit the use of graphic elements and logos in your email signature. They put an unnecessary burden on the email system.
  • Highly decorated and personalized email signatures detract from your message.

Example

For the purposes of clarity and consistency, we recommend the following email signature format for employees of UCF. The example below is meant as a visual guide. Please note that copying and pasting the example into Outlook may appear differently and require additional formatting.
