Michael,
Thanks - you ask a good question. TWC CSC does not require a signature if the school obtained placement info from telephone or other records. In fact, I have seen some schools have the student sign the form at an exit interview prior to the student obtaining employment. This is not acceptable. If you look at the PS-072A form, the student signature line is included and part of the data lines for employment info. In other words, the student/graduate should only sign it when they are reporting their employment info. In addition, the Annual Reporting to CSC must match the cohort set of PS-072A forms for all the students during the reporting period. This set of data forms should include a mix of student reported (signed) forms as well as forms completed by the school. i.e you must have a form for every graduate (suggest you review the reporting requirements at the beginning of the reporting year so you can start your data set accurately and in line with the reporting requirements.
Thank you,
