Each signer will receive an email from DocuSign with his or her own link to each child’s contract. Each of you must use your own link to access your copy of the contract, complete the form, and add your signature. DocuSign will combine everything into one contract per child, with multiple signatures. Once all parties sign, the contract is complete and each party receives a confirmation email. Detailed enrollment instructions follow and DocuSign help line is available at 1-866-219-4318.
STEP 1 — Open the DocuSign link
When you first open the link, you will see a small overview screen that gives you the following options:
- agree to do business electronically with Catlin Gabel, and go on to review and sign your documents
- decline the contract using the button at bottom right
- finish later saves your work for finishing later
- sign on paper leads to options for downloading, printing, and sending hard copy by fax or mail
- change signer is only for cases in which the original recipient should not be a signer, and wants to transfer that to someone else
STEP 2 – Review, sign, and confirm the online enrollment contract
Each signer should access and sign the electronic contract(s) via the link sent to his/her email account.
Pages 1 and 2: Click "Start" and select a tuition payment plan. All parties need to select the same option. The first signer’s selection is visible to successive signers.
Consider tuition insurance. The option to decline ("no") or accept ("yes") tuition insurance must be selected to complete the contract. Your family is responsible for the year’s tuition even if you leave before the end of the school year. More information on tuition insurance is attached to this email. All parties need to select the same option. The first signer’s selection is visible to successive signers.
Page 3: Add your electronic signature. DocuSign will generate different styles for you. The style you select will be saved so next time you sign, you’ll use the same signature.
Complete the billing information. If more than one household is responsible for monthly charges, please specify which charges are for each household and let us know if you would like a statement showing only these specific charges.
Page 4: Choose a payment method so we know how to expect your payment. If you are bringing in or sending a check, please print this page and include it with your payment. If you are selecting method 4 to set up automatic payments for your bank account, use the ACH form on the next page. Please review all of page 4 before confirming your signature.
Page 5: ACH form for people who set up automatic debit payments. This form can also be downloaded below.
After you have confirmed your signature, you will be able to print, save or download the contract for your records. A copy will also be sent to all signers via email when the contract is complete.

Helpful tips
- Please contact DocuSign's help line at 1-866-219-4318 if you have questions or difficulties with the online process.
- Contracts signed by one parent from one email are not considered complete. Each signer must complete the contract using the link in his or her own separate email.
- Sometimes we send both contracts to the same email, but in that case each parent/guardian still needs to sign the contract from that email address.
- The forms and your signature are absolutely secure. DocuSign is used for many confidential transactions such as mortgage closures. More information is available on the DocuSign website.
- Payment must be submitted separately.
