You are required to read your email throughout the year.
Remember, if a class is cancelled, you get an email asking you to enroll in something else. No one calls you. Others may also be trying to reach you. Make sure to check your JUNK box as some important emails may land there.
We recommend reviewing the advising guide at the start and end of every semester. Make sure you are meeting expectations and assess yourself on where you land on the disposition expectations at the end of the guide.
Log your experiences
Remember, you must keep a log of all of your experiences. Examples: Organizations you are involved in, jobs or volunteer work you have done, practicum/pre-clinical experiences for your courses. We recommend keeping track of when you did this work, who you worked with, how many hours you put in, and what kind of work you did.
Check your Degree Progress Report
Now that you are registered for fall, it is a good idea to check your degree progress report to ensure your classes are landing where you thought they would and you can see what you still need to take.
You can find your degree progress report in accesspoint under DEGREE PROGRESS. Once you open it, click VIEW AS .PDF. You will be able to see all of your credits required, what general ed requirements you are meeting and those not yet satisfied, then you will see all of your course requirements and GPAs for the programs you have indicated. It is important to be checking this after you register every semester and then again when your grades are posted every semester.

Get Involved
We highly recommend that all teaching intent students are involved in at least one student organization involved in teacher education each year. You will be invited to their meetings through this newsletter and some through your email as well. This is a great way to stand out among your peers when you are applying for jobs. Many students are involved every year they are in school and that is your competition! Most meet one hour per month. Take a look at
UWSP Campus and Student Engagement Office where you can find student organizations to join and job and volunteer opportunities, as well as
SPIN.
Thinking about teaching out-of-state?
Some states may require additional assessments and/or courses prior to applying for their license. The University of Kentucky College of Education provides links to
Teacher Certification By States. You can click any state to see what they require if you have earned your teaching license outside of their state.
