Definition of workflow

Recently, a Preliminary Written Exam survey was sent to the PBED listserv, which includes all plan level coordinators (PLC) and directors of graduate studies (DGS). The survey asked participants who they believe should initiate the Preliminary Written Exam form and what role the adviser and the DGS should have in the process. Feedback from the survey suggests an opportunity to clarify the concept of workflow.

The definition of workflow, within the context of the graduate education transition, is to automate the process of recording student information to the system of record. The specific purpose of the preliminary written exam workflow is to replace the paper form to report a student's exam result. The intention is not to replace program-specific processes for grading.
