The Sign Agreement wizard walks staff and the signing parent through a structured, in-person enrollment process. It verifies contact information, reviews each student, confirms pricing, optionally collects payment, and records the wet-ink signature.
Billing must be enabled on the agreement. The Sign Agreement button does not appear without it.
When to use it
Run Sign Agreement when:
-
A draft agreement is ready with all enrollments added
-
Billing has been enabled and the Billing tab reviewed
-
The parent is present to sign the printed agreement
Open the agreement and click Sign Agreement in the header.
