Instructions for using Adobe Sign for forms that require signatures

Complete & route a form

Find Humboldt username emails (abc123) for everyone who needs to sign your form. You will be asked to enter these emails before initiating the form. Don't use "name" emails with Adobe Sign.

Use the Adobe Sign Directory to look up Humboldt username emails.

After you click the form link, you will be prompted to sign in, select the Continue with Google option.

[Note: If you encounter problems with Adobe Sign, make sure you are signed out of any personal gmail accounts and are signed in to your Humboldt gmail account.]
