The FSO CatCard and Operations department have just announced that they are now able to collect signatures
electronically for those employees who live and work outside of the Tucson area. These signatures are used to verify auditable
documents by FSO departments through the Electronic Signature database. Simply print an Electronic Signature Request Form.,
fill in the requested information, attach a copy of your driver's license and mail the information to the CatCard Office.
Your E-Signature will be scanned and downloaded into the signature file database. Please allow up to 10 days for your
electronic signature to be on file. You can find the form in e-forms located in http://uabis.arizona.edu/eforms. Because
of the manual process and the time delay involved, they are requesting this process be used only by staff located outside
the Tucson area. Others needing to update or add their signature may visit the CatCard Office in the Student Union Memorial
Center. If you have questions concerning E-Signature, contact the CatCard Office at 626-9162.
