Preparation
IN THIS LESSON
the supplemental toolkit
Creating a supplemental toolkit will allow you to have all the items you need for the application process at your fingertips.
Along with the 10-Step Supplemental Application Manual, worksheet, and checklist provided here, a few more items are great to have on hand.
The first is legal paper to print your supplemental application. The paper required is legal-size (8.5 x 14”), acid-free paper, not recycled. In January 2024, the DAR changed its paper requirements to state that the paper no longer needs to be 25% rag, although it can be if that’s what you have available. The DAR store sells appropriate paper that is 25% rag, and it can be a convenient way to purchase your paper. The link to buy paper at the DAR store is included below.
The other two items are a ruler and a red pen if you wish to underline your proof documents by hand. Alternatively, you can outline them digitally.
A last item that’s helpful to have is a legal-size mailing envelope.
Having all these items on hand when needed can make the process go more smoothly.
