Some things that might help make compliance easier.
Utilities
Some of the items that are available for download on this page have been compressed and binhexed or zipped to speed and ease their transmission through the Internet to you. To use these items, you should pick up these two free utilities first.
StuffIt
Expander from Allume Systems will both decompress and debinhex the
items on this page. There's a version for Macintosh, Windows, and DOS.
Files that have been binhexed have a .hqx extension. If you can't
open a stuffed file from the Pac-10 web site, you probably need a more
recent version of StuffIt Expander.
Adobe
Reader from Adobe Systems allows you to view and print some
documents that you download here. Look for the Acrobat document icon
next to the item and the .pdf extension in the file name. Preview,
a part of Mac OS X, also
works peachy. If you can't open a .pdf file from the Pac-10 web
site, you probably need Adobe Reader version 5.x or later or
Preview.
QuickTime is Apple's cross-platform software for creating and viewing all types of multimedia content on your Mac and Windows computer. If you have iTunes, then you have QuickTime.
Hot Topics is our Dashcode-built widget that puts the most recent items from our Hot Topics page on your Dashboard. Mac OS X v10.4.3 or later required. (Updated, 7/1/2011)
Pac-12 Handbook
Pick up the 2011-12 Pac-12 Handbook here. It is only distributed electronically. We plan to post updates during the academic year as appropriate.
The 2011-12 Pac-12 Handbook (10.7 MB, uploaded 7/29/11) includes
bookmarks that allow you to jump to particular pages with a single
click. After downloading your copy, print it back-to-back on
your computer's printer or copier and put it in a binder.
The Version 1.1 update comes in three flavors:
• The whole book (2.7 MB, posted 2/6/2012).
• Just the pages that have changed. Download this if you print your Handbook single-sided on paper. (1.2 MB, posted 2/6/2012)
• The pages that have changed and adjacent pages that have not. Download this if you print your Handbook back-to-back and keep the sheets in a binder like we do. (1.4 MB, posted 2/6/2012)
The Version 1.2 update comes in the same three flavors:
• The whole book (2.7 MB, posted 3/23/2012).
• Just the pages that have changed. Download this if you print your Handbook single-sided on paper. (752K, posted 3/23/2012)
• The pages that have changed and adjacent pages that have not. Download this if you print your Handbook back-to-back and keep the sheets in a binder like we do. (909K, posted 3/23/2012)
