Graduate School forms are available in two formats: a fillable MS Word template, or an Adobe PDF.
If you have MS Word, you can fill in the form fields using your computer, then use the "Save As" command to save the document as a ".doc" file. (If Word prompts you for a password, change the file type from template (.dot) to document (.doc), and you will no longer need a password.)
If you have problems opening or downloading the Word version of these forms, please let us know.
To use a PDF form, print it, then fill it out by hand or use a typewriter. You will need Adobe Reader to open and print the PDF. If you don't have the free Adobe Reader, you can download it from Adobe's Web site.
For best results, you should be using the latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer.
| Note: All MSWord versions are fillable forms; i.e., they can be filled out on the computer and saved. PDFs (other than the fillable PDF for the GS2) must be printed and then typed or handwritten. | |
