Navigating (moving through) the application form
At the top left of every screen there is a Navigation Panel with links to each page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' at the top or bottom of the screen to move forward or backwards through the application.
Saving your draft application
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, click the 'Save and Close' button at the top or bottom of the screen and log out. When you log back in and click on the ‘My Submissions’ link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any documents you have started or submitted. You can then reopen your draft application and start from where you left off.
Submitting your application
You will find a ‘Review’ button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the required questions are completed.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then your submission has NOT been received. Check that you have hit the submit button.
Attachments and supporting documents
You will need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a zip drive, or similar.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each however, we recommend keeping files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
If you are not able to upload a document, please contact the Music Office for support.
Completing an application in a group
A number of people can work on an application using the same login as long as only one person is working on the application at the one time. Ensure you save as you go.
Spell check
Most Internet browsers have a spell check function built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
YOUR APPLICATION IS NOT SAVED UNTIL YOU CLICK ON THE SAVE BUTTON. MAKE SURE YOU SAVE YOUR WORK REGULARLY.
