Streamline Faculty Contracts

Digitize the entire faculty hiring workflow: offer letters, tenure track agreements, adjunct contracts, and sabbatical requests. The average faculty appointment takes 12+ weeks to process with paper workflows — Zignature cuts that dramatically.

Zignature streamlines every step from initial offer through committee approval with digital signature workflows. Department chairs can initiate contracts, deans can review and approve, and provosts can countersign — all from any device. Documents export as PDFs ready for HR information systems and accreditation files.

Faculty offer letters and appointment agreements — with rank, salary, tenure timeline, research expectations
Adjunct and visiting scholar contracts — per-course agreements with compensation and syllabus requirements
Tenure and promotion documentation — streamlined review packets with multi-signer committee approvals
Sabbatical and leave requests — digital applications with department chair and provost approvals

Did you know? Universities process an average of 200+ faculty contracts annually. Digital onboarding reduces appointment processing time from 12 weeks to under 4 weeks.

Financial Aid

Digitize Financial Aid Processing

Digitize FAFSA verification, award letters, scholarship agreements, and Title IV compliance documentation. Eliminate paper-based delays and ensure every student receives timely financial aid decisions.

Managing financial aid involves thousands of award letters, verification documents, and compliance attestations annually. Zignature digitalizes the entire aid lifecycle from initial award through disbursement authorization. Automated verification confirms student identity, FAFSA data is validated before awards are issued, and all acceptance signatures are stored with tamper-evident audit trails for Title IV compliance.

Financial aid award letters — digital delivery with acceptance, modification, or appeal workflows
Scholarship and grant agreements — terms, conditions, renewal requirements, and GPA maintenance
FAFSA verification documents — secure collection of tax transcripts, verification worksheets, and identity confirmation
Loan entrance/exit counseling — digital acknowledgments with completion tracking and federal reporting

Did you know? Financial aid offices process an average of 5,000+ award letters annually. Digital processing reduces verification time from 6 weeks to under 48 hours and eliminates 90% of paper-related errors.

Accelerate Institutional Agreements

Vendor contracts, research agreements, IRB approvals, and accreditation documents all require multiple signatures. Zignature eliminates the back-and-forth by enabling real-time digital agreement processing.

Universities manage hundreds of institutional agreements annually, each requiring signatures from multiple stakeholders across departments, legal counsel, and administration. Traditional agreement processing involves printing, routing, waiting for wet signatures, and scanning — a cycle that takes weeks per document. Zignature enables real-time digital processing where all parties sign from any device.

Vendor and procurement contracts — campus vendor agreements, service contracts, technology licensing
Research collaboration agreements — inter-institutional MOUs, grant sub-awards, IP assignments
Accreditation documentation — self-study reports, compliance attestations, program review sign-offs
Campus housing and dining contracts — student housing agreements, meal plan selections, roommate preferences

Did you know? Universities process over 2,000 institutional agreements annually. Digital agreement workflows reduce processing time by 78% and eliminate 90% of routing errors and lost documents.
