Why Can’t I Submit This Form?

We’re sorry you’re having trouble submitting a form on the ASJA website. Before emailing or calling us, check these things:

Is your internet connection working? (Are you online?)

It’s a basic question, but worth investigating. You were definitely online when you accessed the form, but you may have lost your connection while you were completing it. Your submission won’t go through without an internet connection.

Did you complete all required fields?

Required fields are information that you must include. These have either:

  • “required” next to the question or prompt, like in the image below.

  • a red or black asterisk, *, next to the question or prompt, like in the image below.

Are you trying to upload a file that is too large?

If your form requires you to upload files, make sure that you’re paying attention to file size. The maximum file size is indicated below the field.

 

If none of the above is a problem, try the following.
