With Verify My Application, you have the ability to electronically sign (e-sign) your Financial Aid documents, instead of having to print them out and sign them.

Create a PIN

The first time you use E-Sign, you will be required to Create a PIN and Accept Terms & Conditions.

Once the form has been correctly filled out enter your pin in the e-Sign box and then select the e-sign button.

• You have the option to opt out of E-Sign. Doing so will require you to print the form, sign and upload it back into the system. Once you opt out of e-sign, the E-Sign button changes to a download button.
• If you need to make any changes to a document before signing, you can do so by selecting the section links on the left side of the screen (you cannot make changes while in the Review & Sign screen).
  
  

• If you have forgotten your e-sign pin, you can reset it by selecting the Forgot my E-Sign PIN link above the e-sign box on the review and sign screen of the web form.

With Verify My Application, you AND your parent both have the ability to electronically sign (e-sign) your Financial Aid documents, instead of having to print them out and sign them. 

Note: Student and parent both have to use E-Sign OR they both have to upload a signed hardcopy of a document (the student cannot choose one option and the parent another.)

Parent’s Signature

After you (the student) E-sign, you will be presented with a step to request your parent’s signature.

Select the parent that you want to send an email request to review and sign your completed documents.

Helpful Tips:

• Only the parent that you send the request to, will be able to create an account and E-Sign documents.
• The parent you select must have passed the SSN match on your FAFSA, or you won’t be able to send that parent a request.
• If neither parent passed the SSN match, you will not be able to use E-Sign. 
• The parent’s email address cannot match the student’s.

Once your request is sent, your parent will receive an email containing a link to create an account. 

Canceling or editing your request to your parent:

Once your request is sent to your parent, you can no longer edit your document unless you cancel the request. To cancel, select the cancel request button. If you need to edit your request, select the edit request button. Please Note: If you cancel the request, your parent will not be able to create an account or be able to see the document to e-sign until you send the request again.

See Instructions for Parent Account Creation

Helpful Tips for Parents:

• If you do not have a Social Security Number (SSN), you can use all zeros to create a parent account.
• If you have more than one student attending Chabot, and already have an existing account, you will have a single account for multiple children at Chabot College.
• You cannot create an account or view documents for e-signature until the student emails the e-signature request to you.
