DocuSign (Overview)

Description of Service:

• DocuSign is an electronic signature service that allows ESU departments to securely send and view documents, such as contracts, forms, or agreements that require a legal signature and/or timestamp.

• ​​​​​The university-approved DocuSign eSignature system can help ESU departments streamline approval workflows and reduce paper usage by replacing the need for physical document routing and storing. Rather than using printed documents to gather signatures, ESU departments can use electronic versions of those documents (in Microsoft Word, PDF, or other common formats) to gather signatures electronically. These electronically signed documents can be securely maintained on the university’s cloud-based systems..

• ESU’s DocuSign environment is a good solution for documents that require a signature where the signer does not have an ESU account (such as prospective students, incoming athletes, cooperating teachers, etc.).
