Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting
-
Can the report be signed electronically?
Yes. Under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state electronic signature laws (UETA or equivalent), electronic signatures are legally valid if intent, consent, attribution, and retention are met.
-
What if the supervisor refuses to sign?
Document the supervisor’s refusal promptly, notify the program coordinator, and request alternate verification such as timecards or an HR attestation to avoid credit delay.
-
How do I correct a submitted report?
If changes are needed after submission, follow institutional amendment procedures; some schools require a revised form with reasons and fresh signatures.
-
Are health details allowed in the report?
Limit health information; include only what is necessary and ensure HIPAA protections if PHI is attached (45 CFR §164.530(j)).
-
Which file formats are acceptable?
PDF or DOCX are standard. Use flattened, signed PDFs for final archival to preserve signatures and prevent unintended edits.
-
Who to contact for technical issues?
Contact the program office or the institution’s IT support; keep screenshots and timestamps to help resolve submission or signature errors quickly.
