Uploading Documents

tip

Documents must be in .pdf format.

For instructions on how to convert your document to PDF see the Adobe Website.

When uploading documents you must ensure that you are uploading the document itself and not the document’s path.

To do so (must be done in Internet Explorer):​

  1. While on the FERNS homepage click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen.

  2. Click on Internet Options from the drop down menu that appears.
