These documents and URLs are to be provided to students only with proper counseling. This Web page is intended to be a staff-only resource page.
It is not helpful for students to unnecessarily or incorrectly complete forms if not properly counseled as to their situation. Staff can simply cut and paste the URL after clicking on the desired document below.
In cases of Web page shortcuts, students can be given the direct links noted below when appropriate. These shortcuts, in some cases, will more easily navigate a student to a Web page.
The use of "www." or "http://" is not necessary but is often added in emails or other documents to cause a hyperlink to form.
