The highlighted blue dot at the top of each form in the FASTAPPS system indicates the current section of the online application. Once you click the "Save" button at the bottom of a form, the FASTAPPS system automatically advances to the next section and the corresponding blue dot at the top of the new form becomes highlighted. To move from field to field, use only the Tab key (not the Enter/Return key, which has the same function as the "save" button).

You may return to your application and make changes at any time prior to the application deadline.
