Non-Law School Transcripts
Some employers request non-law school transcript as part of their application process (from undergraduate or
other graduate degrees). You will need to upload the unofficial transcript onto Symplicity. In your Documents
section select the Other Document button in for uploading all non-law school transcripts. NOTE: The reason you
need to use Other Document for your non-law school transcripts as Symplicity only allows one transcript at a time
to be labeled as Unofficial Transcript and that will be your law school transcript.
MAXIMUMNUMBEROFDOCUMENTS:
Symplicity allows you to store a maximum of 20 documents at any given time and this includes all document
types including resumes, cover letters, writing samples, law transcripts, references and any other type of document
an employer may request such as non-law school transcripts or application forms.
When you have uploaded 20 documents, you will receive a message in your Documents tab stating “You have
already uploaded the maximum 20 documents. If you would like to upload another, please replace or delete an
existing one.”
DOCUMENTSIZELIMIT:
Symplicity has a maximum file size per document of 500KB. Documents larger than this will not upload.
Official transcripts can run over the 500KB size limit so it is recommended to upload an unofficial
transcript.
DELETINGDOCUMENTS:
Go to your Documents section and press the Delete button for the document you want to delete.
JOBS&EXTERNSHIPS
The Jobs & Externships section displays summer and school year/externship job postings. Career Services receives
jobs daily and posts them into Symplicity.
HOWTOAPPLYTOJOBS:
Click on the job title to open the job posting. Once the job posting is open you will see an Apply button in the upper
right corner of the posting. This will open and give instructions on how to apply and what application documents
the employer is requesting. If there are any notes on how to apply from the employer they will be in this section.
Some employers want you to submit your application documents through the Symplicity system rather than
applying to them directly. The employer will login to Symplicity to retrieve the application materials. When you
open a job posting click on the Apply button in the upper right corner of the job posting, there will be drop-down
menus to select your documents (that you have uploaded in your Document section). To view the applications
you have submitted through Symplicity click on the My Job Applications tab.
FAVORITES:
You can mark any posting as a favorite to review again at a later time by clicking on the “star” icon. The positions
will now be in your My Favorites section. NOTE: Once the job posting deadline has passed the job will no longer
appear in your My Favorites list.
ADVANCEDSEARCH:
Because the list of job postings can be long, using the Advanced Search section allows you to refine your search
using filters.
