Please note the following guidelines:

• College taglines and social media icons with links to URLs are optional. Headshots may be used, but must be approved by the Marketing and Communications department. 
• If you are using a Southwest logo (specifically the SWTCC, Saluqi, or Southwest Workforce Solutions Center logo) or icons, be sure you have added Alt Text to the images for ADA Compliance. This can be done when setting up your e-Signature through MS Outlook. 
• Personal quotations or philosophical statements are not recommended. Your signature is a direct representation of the college’s viewpoint.
• Preferred font and size: Calibri with 12-point font size for ADA Compliance.
• When applicable, professional designations or certifications may be placed directly after your name. For example: Sue Smith, FAIA.

If you are using any of our Southwest logos in your Outlook e-signature, here’s how to add Alt Text to the logo from your Outlook email (Windows): 

Go to File > Options > Mail > Signature (Import the logo) > Right Click on the logo > Click on Picture > Alt Text > Add text: Add the name of the logo, for example, “Southwest Tennessee Community College logo” > Hit Ok.

Below is an example of an appropriate Southwest Tennessee Community College email signature.
