What signature to use if you have a BA in psychology?

Answer 1

Generally, there is no need to sign your name 'John Doe, BA', and it would seem a little arrogant to do so. Even in professional settings, it is not appropriate to do it unless there are requirements to indicate your level of credentials when signing off on progress notes you have written documenting your provision of service to clients, for example. In the case of progress notes, you would certainly have to be under the supervision of someone with a higher degree, and the credentials of everyone signing should be included on the notes. In short, I would just sign my name as I always did unless I am in a professional setting where I am told to use a credential. As an example, I think even a PhD would be a little pompous to sign a guest book in a funeral home with the PhD after the name. It's not as if the person is there to offer a brief college course to the bereaved attending the wake.
