Keep the useful context, skip the dossier

A student signature usually needs a name, degree or role, department, institution, and one reliable reply address. Phone numbers, physical addresses, photos, personal social accounts, and unrelated activities are optional—not defaults. Include a professional profile or portfolio only when it helps the recipient understand your work.

For selection and installation advice, read the student email signature guide. Apple Mail users can also follow the Mac Mail setup guide.
