Application Process > Electronic Application Instructions
If you download the Adobe PDF document, you can also complete the application form electronically by typing within a browser window and saving the form to your computer.
There are some limitations to completing the Adobe Acrobat form electronically.
- You can save the form only from your browser and only as a pdf document. As long as you stay working in your browser, however, you can save the document multiple times as you work through the application.
- Once you exit your browser, you will not be able to save additional information you add to the form. You can always reopen the PDF document, do more editing, and print it; however, it can no longer be saved.
- If you must stop work on the application form before you have fully completed it, be sure to print a copy so you can recreate the page if necessary.
We recommend that you try to fully complete a page before moving on to the next page so that if later editing is necessary, you can do so from your saved copy. Thus you will be able to make a minor edit and reprint that page even though at that point it cannot be saved. Another option is to draft your responses in a word processing program until you are satisfied with your answers, then copy and paste the answers into the form, then print, and save.
Character Limitation in Text Boxes
There is no limit placed on the number of characters that can be entered into the data fields. However, what you see is what you get. If the text in the data field begins to scroll out of view in the text entry box, the hidden text will not print when you print the page.
You must have Adobe Acrobat in order to open and print the form from the web site. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the icon below to download a free copy.
