School & Work Templates for Google Sheets

Two campaigns, one section: getting through a semester and getting hired. The templates here track assignments, deadlines, applications and interviews — the moving parts of school and of a job search — in plain spreadsheets you download free as .xlsx and open in Google Sheets or Excel.

Google Sheets templates for students

The student templates are built around the one habit that survives a busy semester: a single sheet listing every assignment with its course, due date and status. Sort by date and the next deadline is always on top; mark things done and the row stops nagging. It replaces the syllabus-shuffling ritual with thirty seconds of typing per week.

Spreadsheets for teachers and classrooms

The same grids serve the front of the classroom. A class list with one column per week is an attendance record; one column per assignment is a marking checklist. Teachers get the additional benefit of the formula bar — averages, counts and missing-work flags computed instead of tallied by hand at ten in the evening.

Job application and career tracking

A job search generates exactly the data shape spreadsheets love: one row per application, columns for company, role, date sent, stage and next step. With twenty applications in flight, memory fails precisely when a recruiter calls; the tracker answers who, when and what-stage in one glance. The same layout adapts to internship hunts and admission seasons.

Reuse the template every semester and every search

These files are built to be duplicated, not archived: copy last term's assignment tracker, clear the rows, keep the structure — by the third semester it is exactly the tool you want. Job trackers work the same between searches. To get a downloaded .xlsx into Google Sheets the first time, the opening guide shows each option, and the help page answers the rest.
