College of Music and Media students, see http://cmm.loyno.edu/online-forms

 

Don't skip class or lunch: Follow the links below for help electronically submitting information.

• Most transactions can be completed with a detailed, communicative email.

• If one of the items below indicates the need for an actual form instead of an email, many options exist including using the free Adobe Reader software's "Fill and Sign" function. (Check your computer's start menu before using that link -- you may already have the program. Use with caution: This site offers the free version and a paid version, where you only need the free version. Also take care to UNcheck the boxes that download other software.) Please do not lock form against editing, or embed a pdf in the body of an email -- include pdfs and jpegs as attachments.

• Fill out forms electronically, and email them.

• If handwritten, scan, then email, or...

• Take a picture of both sides of a form with your phone, then email.

• Whether an item needs one signature or multiple approvals, organize your emails carefully so that all the information is in one thread. This email option is provided to make the form easier for you to complete so you don't have to obtain signatures in person across campus. For multiple signatures, you might email one person at a time, and then forward to the next person, and so on, or it might be effective to email ALL the parties at the same time (including yourself and the final recipient/s), and ask them to give their approval electronically via the email. No office is responsible for collecting signatures on your behalf.

• Scroll to the bottom of the page for a listing of all the directories and ways to find contact information for professors and offices 

• See also the University Bulletin where all the rules, regulations, policies, and other fine-print of the University appears. http://bulletin.loyno.edu/
