Email signature generator
You can now create your own email signature by filling out the Email Signature Generator. The generator ensures your signature is already accessible and in the correct format. The approved email signature for the university does not include images such as logos, ranking badges, etc. These do not meet accessibility requirements.
In order to maintain a professional and consistent image, this email signature may not be combined with other unit, rankings, or partner logos.
Create your own email signature
The approved email signature for the university does not include images such as logos, ranking badges, etc. However, if you choose to use any graphic or image, the number must be limited and alt-text is mandatory for accessibility purposes.
