E-mails

  • In order to maintain a consistent, professional standard, it is necessary to refrain from using background colors, design templates, decorative graphics or animation in e-mails.
  • The University is adopting a standard format for our e-mail signatures. All University employees are asked to use the style below without variation to the punctuation. The font should be the same as that which is used in the body of the e-mail.

Ordering stationery and business cards

In an effort to reduce costs, two-color pre-printed “shells” have been ordered on “Classic Laid Imaging” bond paper to serve the entire institution’s stationery needs. Upon placing an order with Peacock Communications, office names will be printed in black ink on these pre-ordered “shells.”

Please see the University intranet (will require network login) for details.

Internal letterhead

A Microsoft Word template has been designed to allow users to print “letterhead-like” documents (i.e., memos and internal communication). Never use outdated or “improvised” headers for memos. This template can be found on the University intranet (will require network login).
