Advising Checklist
Calculate your own Core GPA to see if you are qualified to apply for student teaching:
Open the Excel spreadsheet for your program as a "Read Only" file. Once the file is open, choose "save as" and rename the file under another name. Changes can then be saved to the renamed file.
