Certification Error - Fall 2

Surprise!  Even though you've successfully uploaded all four Fall 2 files without error, you may be in for some additional errors.  The "fifth wheel" of the Fall 2 certification process requires you to clear any fatal errors related to the certification process itself. 

Remember, if you can clear any fatal errors before the Fall 2 window closes, you can always correct additional errors during the "amendment window."

For additional information about the Fall 2 certification process, feel free to download this overview presentation.  (You do need to be a registered member in order to download any files, or to ask questions or contribute to the community forums, but it's totally free and community-driven, because we're cool like that.)
