This must be changed unless you are qualified for HQT in the subject.
-For Non-Core courses like PE, Educ & Career, Driver's Ed, etc, choose "0" for n/a and leave the default with your; changing it to another ESes name or another choice like HQT vendor for a non-core class will result in an error on the report.

If you have parents that have denied in all areas you must consult your advisor so that we are aware of this situation.
