ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS

You may be required to upload supporting documents. To do this:

  • Ensure the files are saved on your computer or device.

  • Upload one file at a time, waiting for each to fully upload before attaching the next.

  • Files can be up to 25MB each. However, we recommend keeping files under 5MB to avoid delays.

WORKING IN A GROUP OR TEAM

Multiple people can work on an application using the same login, but only one person should edit the form at a time. Make sure to save regularly to avoid losing any work.

SPELL CHECK

Most modern internet browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari) have built-in spell check functionality. You can turn this on or off in your browser settings.
