Adding a Signature to Your Email Step by Step for MS Outlook

But why?

When communicating with faculty and the administrative staff, it's important to include your Student ID Number so we know exactly who you are and don't mistaken you for another student with a similar name. Also - be sure you are always using your Seneca email in communications - this is for privacy reasons.

This will also save time with an email that goes like this:

EMAIL 1: (day 1)

  • TO: someone
  • FROM: me
  • MESSAGE: Hi someone, I need this and that for my thing. Thank you, Me.

EMAIL 2: (Day 2-4)

  • TO: me
  • FROM: someone
  • MESSAGE: Hi me, Thanks for your inquiry. Please include your student number. Thank you, someone

EMAIL 3: (Day 4-5)

  • TO: someone
  • FROM: me
  • MESSAGE: Hi someone, Here is my student number: 123456789. Thank you, Me.

One Week Later...

OK!
BUT FIRST ... SECURITY

AUTHENTICATION

At this point, you know you have to authenticate or approve your login to everything. Maybe you've opted for the text code option. I wanted to share with you the DUO Mobile app. It's (in my opinion) the easiest way to authenticate. There's no code, you just get a pop up on your phone and you choose yes or no. Done. Here's the logo & links to the app store:

APPLE: Here's the app store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827

ANDROID: Here's the Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duosecurity.duomobile&hl=en_CA&gl=US
