GSTS - Students with Existing Milestones

This document serves as supplemental information for assigning milestones. If you have a student with existing milestones on their record follow these instructions to learn how to add more milestones to their record.

Case 1: 

If there are Graduate School Milestones (preliminary exam, minor requirements complete, major requirements complete, or dissertator status) on the student's record, you will see a page similar to what is shown below with an Effective Date, but no milestone details.  Since only the Graduate School has access to view, add, or change these specific milestones you will not be able to see the details.

Case 1 screenshot

  1. On the Student Milestones page click the + sign next to the "Milestones Copy" button. The Effective Date should change to today's date, and you should see that there is now another page of milestones information.

If you or someone else has previously added Program Milestones for a student you will see a page similar to what is shown below with information already filled in under Milestone Detail.

  1. On the Student Milestones page click the + sign next to the "Milestones Copy" button.  It may look like nothing has changed, but the Effective Date should now say today's date, and you should see that there is now another page of milestones information.
