Trevecca Brand Manual

Email Signature Guide

At Trevecca, we want to preserve a clear and professional presence in email. To this end, certain guidelines have been implemented to ensure all faculty and staff have email signatures that are cohesive, consistent and represent the University well.  The following are policies that are to be adhered to by all faculty and staff.
  • Prefixes
    No prefixes will be used. Instead, degrees will be listed after the name to signify a title.  
  • Degrees & Certifications
    As is common practice at colleges and universities, there are specifications when it comes to listing degrees. They will only be listed if: 
    • It is your highest degree
    • It is a graduate degree and above (no masters or below)
    • It is relevant to your position
    • Any other certifications subject to approval
  • Social Media Links
    There are no personal or 3rd party social media links allowed, only main Trevecca accounts.
  • Phone Numbers
    Phone number must be formatted as xxx-xxx-xxxx.
  • Additional Links
    No additional URLs in signature aside from trevecca.edu.
