I submitted my PSE and there are '?' where apostrophes used to be. What will happen when my PSE is being read?

The font in the PSE is a standard font and when you cut and paste into the PSE from WORD or Wordperfect, the font will conform to this standard. It would only become visible after the PSE is saved and then reviewed. We are aware that the apostrophe appears as a question mark, however, please note that your PSE will not be disadvantaged. The faculty readers are made aware of this font issue

I'm getting an error message on format of the TO and FROM fields for activities/employment. Help?

Please use numeric entries for month and year. Example April 2009 is 04-09. Ensure there are no spaces. If you do not have 5 awards or activities and/or employments, please leave rows blank after completed entries. If you do not have ANY activities and/or employment, type NA as the response in the 1st box only of that question or questions if applicable.
