Printing, Sharing

  2.         Click the printer icon in the right column: Print
  3.         Click “Download as PDF” in the right column to view as a PDF, then click the printer icon

 

Q. How do I save a Guide Memo to be a Word document?

A. Click "Download as PDF" in the right column; when the printer pop-up window appears, click Cancel. Then, copy the entire document and paste into a blank Word document.

Mobile Devices

Q. Will the site work when I use my tablet or smartphone?

Interpretation of Administrative Guide Memos

Q. If I have a question about a Guide Memo, how do I know whom to contact?

A. Each Guide Memo has the “Authority” identified by title. Use the President’s or Provost’s organization chart in Chapter 9, or search on the Stanford website, to find the correct person. Also, most administrative offices have a HelpSU category, so you can submit a question in that way as well.
