Separate TA Application?

I posted this on the vent thread, but I was hoping someone could weigh in here.

Earlier this month I received an acceptance from GMU's creative writing MFA program. When I last spoke with the program director, he said TA decisions would be finalized between 4/3 and 4/8.

When I filled out my online application, there was a section labelled "Teaching Assistantship Application," to which I uploaded some additional documents. But when I was looking at the program website today, I noticed that there was a separate PDF application, along with an email address to send it to. It requested all the same info/documents as the regular online application.

Will I be ineligible for a TAship since I didn't send in the separate application? Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried calling/emailing the department, but of course no one has responded.

Update: finally got in touch with the admissions staff this afternoon. The PDF application is outdated, and new applicants are not required to submit it.

GMU creative writing applicants, take note!
