The From Field Always use your University or College email address when sending an email to your professor. This not only assures professor that you are indeed a student but also avoids your email from getting put in spam box. Many Universities and Colleges now employ a system of only allowing emails to be received from certain domains anything else (hotmail, yahoo...etc) is either automatically put in spam box or is forwarded to Professor as a potential spam. Example: Astudent@university.edu

The To Field This is single most important field, if you mess up in here there you can kiss your email good bye. Avoid putting Professor’s name with email (A Prof ), since not all emailing system can handle this format. It is always best to send your email to Professor’s University or College account, since that is email account that your Professor checks, or should check, most. And again before sending email double check to verify that email address was typed correctly. Example: Aprof@universtiy.edu

The Subject Field The subject field should be of following format: CollegeName-CourceCode-Title-Subject
