System Office HR is transitioning our current forms to templates and Power Forms to be used solely via DocuSign as part of System Office’s switch from Adobe to DocuSign per IT’s announcement on May 12. To ease the transition System Office HR has been moving any forms that require HR’s signature to templates in DocuSign, as we have discontinued signing forms via email PDF documents and Adobe Sign. See the latest forms that have been transitioned to DocuSign below. As we continue our transition, please refer to the System Office HR Portal to ensure you are always using the latest form for HR action approvals. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to improve how we serve the System Office!

For DocuSign support and troubleshooting: Please submit a help desk ticket with System Office IT at help@northcarolina.edu and include the word DocuSign in the subject line, with a short summary of the support that you need.
