Frequently Asked Questions

Do parents need to download an app to sign?

No. Parents sign entirely in their mobile browser — Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, or any standard browser. There is no app to download and no account to create. The form opens immediately when a parent taps the link from their email or text message.

How does a parent receive their signing link?

The athletic director sends the campaign link via email or posts the school's QR code. Parents can also receive individual links directly. Either way, tapping or scanning opens the form immediately without any login step.

Can parents sign on a desktop or tablet instead of a phone?

Yes. The signing flow works on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop computer. The experience is optimized for mobile touchscreens, but there is no restriction on device type. Tablet signatures with a stylus are also fully supported.

What kind of signature is accepted?

Parents can draw a signature with their finger on a touchscreen or use a mouse on desktop. They can also type their full name as a typed electronic signature. Both methods produce a legally binding electronic signature under the ESIGN Act and UETA.

What if a parent makes an error on the form?

Before final submission, parents see a review screen where they can go back and correct any field. After submission, the athletic director can void and re-issue the form if a correction is needed — the original submission remains in the audit trail for compliance purposes.

Does the parent receive confirmation after signing?

Yes. An email confirmation with a summary of what was signed is sent immediately after successful submission. The student's clearance status updates in the admin dashboard at the same moment, so the AD knows in real time when each parent completes their forms.
