Student Milestones

Milestones are non-course requirements a student must complete toward degree progress to graduate. Milestones are assigned to graduate level students upon matriculation and must be updated as milestones are completed.

Once the Student Milestone Overview page opens, click on the Edit Milestone link above the Milestone pagelet.

Graduate Adviser Workcenter

You can click on the Grad Adviser Workcenter link within the Academic Overview pagelet.

Once the Grad Adviser Workcenter opens, on the left hand side, a menu item labeled Student Milestones will be available.  By using this general link, you will need to use the search criteria to find the student.

Updating Student Milestones

Important note: Please make all relevant updates to the student’s milestones before you click save. If not, you will be locked out of that effective dated row due to not having correct history permission. 

When students are matriculated, the Office of the University Registrar will assign the appropriate Milestones to the student’s record. On the top of the Student Milestone page, you will see the students Name, ID, Career, and Academic Program.  The Milestones listed under Milestone Detail are associated with the student’s Academic Program.  You will need to use the arrows on the right hand side of the page to toggle through each of the Milestones.
