Completing the Form Important!: It's best to complete all fields and the red asterisk indicates a mandatory field. If the mandatory fields are not filled in you will not be able to save a draft copy. Also: If you don't know your GPA, enter any grade - it can be corrected later. Form Tools The "People Picker" This tool works best with Internet Explorer, Version 7 and up. It does not always work with Firefox or Safari. Start by clicking the Address Book icon on the right. This opens the Webpage Dialog window. Note: Searching for your supervisor by last name is the best method. Type in his/her last name in the Find field and then click on the Magnifying Glass icon on the right. Page 5 of 7
Important!: If your supervisor displays more than once, select the name based on the following criteria: 1. Account Name must start with UC\ or UC_Admin\ 2. There must be an E-mail address associated with the Account Name Click OK at the bottom of the open window The People Picker field should now display your supervisor s name. Important: If the People Picker does not work for you, please feel free to move on in the application, as the next field allows you to type in your supervisor's name. Evidence of GPA You can add a copy of your Transcript by attaching a document. Go to the top of the application and click on Attach File and follow the instructions. Once you've selected the file, it will append itself to the bottom of your application. Page 6 of 7
Saving/Editing/Submitting an Application Saving/Editing At any time, as long as you have completed the mandatory fields, you can click OK to save your application. You can come back to it if you need to edit or modify it. Your application displays on the home screen as: My New/Incomplete Applications. (Partial view shown here.) If you wish to go back and edit/complete your application, click on the Edit icon and the application will re-open for you to complete. Submitting your Completed Application If you feel your application is ready for submission to your supervisor for his/her reference, you must tick both the Student Acknowledgement and the Application Complete for Submission boxes. Note 1: Failure to click one or the other will keep your application in the "My New/Incomplete Applications" window. Note 2: Once your application form is completed, it's a good idea to print a copy for yourself, as you will not be able to review it once it is submitted. Application Complete for Submission Once you click OK on your completed application form, it will display in the "My Submitted Applications" window (Partial view shown here.) From there, you will be able to see if your supervisor has completed his/her reference. Done. Page 7 of 7
