An email signature is text, like your contact information or a favorite quote, that’s automatically added at the end of Gmail messages as a footer. In your communications with St. Nicholas faculty, staff, and fellow students, it’s helpful to indicate your programme and stage by using an email signature. It’s also a standard practice in any professional communications. Here are some brief instructions on how to create or modify your gmail signature.

Add or change a signature

1. Open Gmail.
2. In the top right, click Settings   See all settings.
3. In the “Signature” section, add your signature text in the box.
