How do I e-sign with a valid e-signature?
Your e-signature is linked to your initials. The initials in the address section of your offer letter are the initials you will use to sign your offer letter.
If you have a hyphenated name you will only need the first initial of the last name. For example, Temple University-Owl’s signature would be “TU.” If your middle name is included in the offer letter, your signature would include your middle initial. For example, Philadelphia Temple University-Owl’s signature would be “PTU.”
