Set some time aside before you start your application to make sure your computer has the following required software:
1. Adobe® Acrobat® Reader
Adobe PDF is a reliable format for electronic document exchange that
preserves document integrity so files can be viewed and printed on a
variety of platforms. This program will allow you to view and print your
application. Also, many of our participating colleges have forms that
you will be required to print, complete, and mail in. In order to do so,
it is necessary to have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your
computer. It is recommended that you have, at minimum, version 5 installed . See details and a link below for instructions on how to download and install Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. Verify you have a compatible browser.
This online application currently requires Internet Explorer version
5.0 or above, or Netscape version 6.1 or above. Your browser shapes what
you see on the Internet, and having the most recent version means you
benefit from the newest technologies. It also increases the chances that
you'll see web pages and applications the way they are meant to be
seen. See details and the links below to install and configure a web
browser.
You will need to download the latest version
of Adobe® Acrobat® Reader. This will allow you to view and print your
completed application. In order to download Adobe® Acrobat® Reader,
please review the system requirements below.
We encourage you to download Adobe® Acrobat®
Reader before starting your application process. If you would like to
