Creating a File from Online Information
Additional online documents like the FAFSA SAR, or tax documents may be required as part of your application. In order to submit them in Schoology, they must first be converted into a file. To do so, follow the steps below:
To create a file from online information:
Open the document or web page that you wish to print, and press Ctrl + P.
The Print menu appears revealing several options.
Open the Printer or Destination drop-down menu.
A menu of printer choices appears.
Select Save as PDF.
In some applications, you must first click Save as File before you can select PDF as the saved file type.
Click Print.
Your document is “printed” as a PDF file that can be emailed or later printed to a printer. Even if you have a working printer, printing to PDF is a great way to archive your work.
Submit PDF with your application in Schoology.

Electronic Signatures will be accepted in your application by simply typing your name in the space provided.
