Milestones
While Student Milestones are not new, there have been some changes made in the Campus Solutions Bundles
- What is a Milestone?
- Milestones are non-course-related events that a student must fulfill for a degree.
- They include things such as language requirements, qualifying and oral examinations, thesis, and dissertation.
- Use the Student Milestones component to assign milestones and advisors to individual students, as well as to record completions of milestones and attempts to fulfill them.
- Use the Process Milestones component to assign or update milestones for multiple students. – PeopleBooks
- Milestones are non-course-related events that a student must fulfill for a degree.
- How are Milestones Used?
- Historically associated with tracking graduate student progress, such as completion of Comp Exams
- Increasingly used for undergraduates as well, to track completion of General Ed requirements, Core Classes, ESL, Community Service, and documenting competencies
- Milestones not only allows you track the completion of the requirement but also the attempts, the assignment of advisors, as well as the expected term/date for completion.
- Enhancements to Student Milestones include:
- Redesign of the component to improve usability
- Additional fields and more options
- Milestones are now part of self-service
- Add attachments to milestones
- Added row level security
- Batch add, update, and delete milestones
- Now everyone can attach milestones to a course
