If you are prompted to sign in, select the Continue with Google option.
You will either be: automatically logged into your Adobe Sign account via Single Sign On (if you are already logged into your computer with your Humboldt credentials), or redirected to the Humboldt Authentication page where you will need to enter your Humboldt username and password.
Once you have signed into Adobe Sign, go to Manage.
Select Waiting for You.
Select the agreement from the Waiting for You queue. Click the Sign (or Accept) button to review the form and decide if you will Sign or Accept, Decline or Delegate to someone else.
After signing, if you need someone else to view and/or track the document, see "share a document".
Click on the signature field to add your signature.
An "Agree to terms" banner will appear at the bottom. Click the "Click to Sign" button to finish signing the document.
