In an effort to make all University email signatures uniform campus-wide, we have put together some instructions on how to implement our email template. The instructions below will help you if you are using Microsoft Outlook on your Mac and if you run into any issues, feel free to contact us.
To access an advanced form of the email signature for the mobile app, click here.
Before you begin, please read all of the steps so you can better understand the process.
Compose a new email and click the add signature icon.
Click “edit signatures.”
Next, click on your campus and which type of email template you would like to use for your signature. It will open up in a new tab and display like the image below.
Do you need additional/different information?
Users may include additional information in text below their email signature, such as messaging, tag lines, or other University-related business so long as it does not impact the format of the template provided and it is officially tied to the University. The use of additional graphics, logos and icons are not permitted to be used in email signatures regardless of University affiliation.
Please use this template if you have been identified, through HR job location, as being on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
When the window opens, select all (command + a), then copy (command + c) the signature from the browser window.
Go back to your email window, then paste (command + v) the signature you just copied into the standard signature box.
Now you must make sure to customize the signature with your information.
IMPORTANT: since this template holds formatting you must be very specific about where your cursor is and what you highlight when editing text.
When you are finished with the customization, click the save icon.
Next, click on link below to display the reply signature template that you will need to use. It will open up in a new tab and display like the image to the right.

Next, make sure to change your settings, so that it tells Microsoft Outlook what to display when you write a new message versus when you replay to/forward a message. (See the example below)
