Here are two documents that we use with some frequency. You can
download the PDF/Word Doc and print them using this quarter's leftover
quota in the STC labs.
To save paper, please print these documents double-sided. For help doing this, please see: http://kb.iu.edu/data/aprm.html
1) Our form letter, that we send with every package. Be sure to print double sided!

2) A legal primer about basic laws and rights in the US and a simple dictionary of legal terms.
