Hints For Filling Out Your Application

• Select the correct postal code using the "view codes" link for US state and Canadian province names.
• Select the appropriate residence and/or citizenship country code using either the "view codes" link or the Search button (depending on which is on the application you're filling out):
  • If there is a "view codes" link: Click the link, search for your country code in the window, close the window, and enter the code in the application.
  • If there is a Search button: click the button and select your country code from the list. It will be automatically entered in the application.
• Separate digits in telephone numbers with dashes only, no slashes or parentheses.
• Check your application over carefully before sending it!
• There are usually other requirements for admission such as having transcripts, test scores, and/or letters of recommendation sent to the school. Be sure to fulfill these requirements in addition to submitting your application.

Web Application Features

• The web application server stores the information you enter under the private user name and password you establish.
• Nothing you enter on an application form is sent to the institution until you transmit it. That means you can set up your account, fill out information on an application form, change it, and save it free of charge and without worry of disclosing information to the institution before you're ready.
• You don't have to complete an application in one sitting. For example, you can start working on an application at your library's web terminal, save your work, recall it from your web terminal at home, and continue working from there. Wherever you have access to the Web, you have access to the information you've saved.
• When you fill out more than one application form, common information you filled in on the first form is automatically entered in all subsequent forms. For example, if you've entered your name and address on an application form and saved it, that information will be automatically entered on the next online form you access (assuming, of course, that the next form also has name and address fields). Also, if you change the information on one form, it's changed on all others.
• Your data is transmitted securely over the Internet. The information you enter is encrypted and secure when you save it and when you send it. Although general data collected on the system may be used in statistical studies and reports designed to assist institutions with planning, any information bearing your personal identification is only disclosed to the department you send it to.
• When you save or transmit application information a note appears in your Activity Log. You can easily check your Activity Log at any time to see your application activity and to find out when the school has acknowledged receipt of your application.
