DocuSign at Kent State University

Please visit our Accessing DocuSign support article for information on how to access.

Any user with an @kent.edu email address has the capability to log into DocuSign at Kent State University, however, the majority of our users will have no actions to take within the platform.

If you have logged into DocuSign, but see nothing within your “Manage” or “Templates” tab, you’ve done nothing wrong. There are no documents that require action from you, and nothing that you can send from within the platform.

If this describes you, you may log out and proceed with your normal activities. Any DocuSign documents requiring work from you will be sent to you via email, ensuring that no documents will be missed that are important to you and your time at Kent State University.

You can use DocuSign to sign virtually any type of document: .doc, .docx, .pdf, .xls, .xlsx, .txt, and more. DocuSign works with your documents, and business systems you already use, including salesforce.com, Microsoft Office 365 (including Microsoft Outlook, Word, and SharePoint), Google Drive. DocuSign is also available for iOS, Android, and Windows devices.

The notification email you received contains the name and email address of the sender - to contact the sender, please use the email address included in the notification.

DocuSign sends email notifications on behalf of its users. Each sender has the ability to set how often to send email reminders. 

Your options to stop receiving email reminders to sign:

• Decline to sign
• Complete signing
• Contact the sender and ask them to Void/Cancel the document. You can simply "reply to" the email notification to contact the sender of the document.
