Sign declaration page of the thesis

The 2026 Thesis Template includes a declaration of originality. Sign it once your thesis is completely finished.

The declaration is on a separate page in the 2026 Thesis Template. It is located between the description page and the table of contents.
If you began your thesis before August 1, 2026, this page is not included in the template, but your thesis supervisor may ask you to add it separately.

Text typed in Word is not acceptable as a signature.

The signature does not need to be an electronic signature created with Jamk Sign.
For security reasons, a handwritten signature scanned from paper is also not required.

The easiest way: Adobe Acrobat’s E-Sign feature

1. Once your thesis is complete, save it as a PDF file (without a signature).
2. Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat. You can also use the online version (https://acrobat.adobe.com/ and log in with your Jamk email address).
3. (In the online version, select the “Fill & Sign” icon.)
4. Select your thesis file (choose it from the menu or drag and drop it). The file will open in a window.
5. Scroll down to the declaration page. It is located after the description pages and before the table of contents.
6. Select “E-sign” at the top. A sidebar with E-sign functions will open on the left.
7. Select “Fill in Form Fields / Add Signature” from the left.
8. Enter your name and click “Save.”
9. Your name will appear on the page. If it’s in the wrong place, you can drag it to the correct spot with your mouse.
10. Add the date next to your signature.
