- Complete your background clearance check and fingerprinting (See details in your supplemental letter) It is VERY IMPORTANT that you comply with the deadline dates to ensure that the results will be received before you start education classes. According to Utah State Office of Education guidelines, WSU can NOT accept background clearances from any other agencies. Additional information may be found on the Livescan Fingerprinting website.
- Participate in the "First Reading" Assignment. Please refer to your acceptance letter for the title of the book you will need to read.

Student Teaching is completed the last semester of your program of study. There is a separate application for student teaching which is due the semester before you plan to student teach. The deadline is within the first two weeks of the semester. Missing the deadline means a semester delay in your student teaching. Please see the Student Teaching website for more information.
