After completing page "x" I hit the "save and continue" button but the page was cleared and I was logged off.

A: You might be timing out. On pages that require a lot of detail it is recommended that you periodically save your work and compose lengthy answers ahead of time in a Word Processor document from which you can "cut and paste". If there are specific field, text box or character limits be sure to adhere to them. Be sure to start at the beginning of all fields and when changing your answers be sure to completely erase the field.

I can’t upload my personal statement even though it is in a preferred format.

A: Make sure that the file name does not contain any spaces, dashes or special characters. "mypersonalstmt.doc" will work ... "my-personalstmt.doc" or "my personalstmt.doc" will NOT work.

I uploaded my personal statement but it is not the personal statement I meant to upload.

A: If you have not submitted your application you can upload again. Make sure that you use the same word processor. You cannot delete an uploaded file but a new upload will completely replace a previously uploaded file.

When I clicked "upload" to upload my personal statement it said that the page did not exist, or something to that effect.

A: The message you probably received was "The page cannot be displayed." This happens when you just type a file name in the upload box without giving the fully qualified address (location) of the file to be uploaded, for example: C:\Documents and Settings\personalstmt_folder\Desktop\mypersonalstmt.doc Browse to where the file actually is ... select it ... then you will see the full location path with file name in the upload box ... click on the upload button.

How can I verify that my personal statement has been uploaded?

A: On your application there will be a confirmation message next to the browse button. For example: "File uploaded."

I'd like to print out my application.

A: We do not have functionality in place to easily print your application for your records. You can do individual page screen prints.

I can't see everything on the page.

A: Make sure your window is maximized.

There is no submit button.

A: The submit button only shows if you have not yet submitted the application. If the button is missing the submission has taken place. You can view your submitted application but cannot make any further changes.
