A unit SUI is composed of a number of individual pdf worksheets that are filled in and uploaded to eServices.
The worksheets are listed on the right side of the SUI Information page. You can download each sheet individually or use the 'All SUI Worksheets (Zipped)' link.
Your computer needs to have Adobe Reader installed to fill out the worksheets. It is best to download all the worksheets into a single directory. Open each lettered worksheet, fill it in, and save it. Then upload it to the Supporting Documentation page in the IG section of eServices.
