Communication is a two way street! and how do you think a site listens to you? – By making you fill out a form, of course.
A form can be as simple as a text box(search forms)or it can be a multi-page form with several input fields. Now that you have had some experience in signing up for an online account, this next assignment focuses on completing online forms. The online forms are mainly of two types:

  1. E-Services forms: The one that you fill online and submit online.
  2. Printable forms: These you can either fill online and then print a copy or download an empty form and fill it later on.

The video below gives a brief overview of the first kind of forms:

This next video is an overview of the second type of forms. Like the form in this video, many online forms do not allow you to save the information you have entered or to save the completed document to your computer; instead, you have to print the completed form in order to keep a record.

You can practice completing an Adult Upgrading Grant (AUG) form, which many of you had to complete in order to register for this course.
AUG is a financial grant that can assist students with tuition and/or fees for programs such as Academic Upgrading (also known as Adult Basic Education or ABE), Building Employment Success for Tomorrow (BEST), Employment Training & Preparation (ETP, formerly ASE), or, English Language Development (ELD).
