A few important notes on uploading documents :
You may upload different documents in the system, which allows for individual cover letters, multiple writing samples, etc. When you upload documents into Symplicity, the system will convert your document from Word or WordPerfect into a .pdf format. Make sure you review the .pdf before submitting your document to ensure that the formatting has converted properly. You will only be able to upload one transcript into the system-- you will need to update it each semester.

A few important notes on uploading documents :
ASU Transcripts: PDF must be converted to a Word document. See Symplicity Document Library. Occasionally documents are too large to upload; consider separating into smaller documents. There is a 20 document limit in Symplicity. After you have attached documents to an application, it is safe to delete cover letters from your documents section. Do not wait until the last minute as you may experience slow transmission service from Symplicity system. See Career Services for any problems with uploading your documents.
