Adobe Acrobat/PDF File Usage
Typical Adobe PDF iconWhenever, possible, the actual application forms will be available online in PDF format.

The PDF or Adobe Acrobat format is considered to be the standard for document distribution for education and the Internet/WWW. Its strengh is that documents (forms, newsletters, etc.) will look the same on all major computing platforms; You may download the "free-for-registration" Acrobat/PDF reader for Mac, Windows, UNIX or DOS if you do not already have it.

We encourage you to have the most current version of the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape and other browsers your computer system can handle; therefore, consider getting the most recent version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader that your computer system can handle. Future plans might include "fillable" forms: you can type in the fields while you are viewing the PDF form inside your browser. You will still need to print these out and present or send them. Signatures may be required for some forms.
