In this exercise, you will create a database that includes a table, form, report, and queries
The College for Advanced Studies seeks to provide a quality education to each of its students.
In order to do this, the college administration needs an efficient way to keep track of the vast amounts
of information associated with each student served. A college administrator has asked you to create and
update a database to help with this task.
Assignment Instructions:
1. Create a New blank database
2. Name the Access file as your last name in all lowercase letters.
(For example, Janet Learner would save her file as “learner.accdb”)
(Be sure to name the database before hitting the “Create” button)

4. In Datasheet View, add the data below to the “Student List” table:
Note: For “First Term Attended” the last two characters are numbers, not letters. For example,
‘SP01’ is an abbreviation of “Spring 2001.” Thus the ‘01’ should both be numbers – not the letter
“O” and number “1.”
