Amended
- 0804 - completion of the Graduate Degree Plan (GDP)
- 0800 - time to degree for graduate students
This is the current milestone number for the GDP. We are revising this milestone so that it is capturing only completion of the GDP rather than the current process which has this milestone capturing both the GDP and committee completion.
This milestone was previously used to capture time extensions for GRD students and is now being used to capture time to degree (time limits) for both "old" (i.e., 5-year and 7-year) and "new" (i.e., 5-year and 8-year) sets of graduate education policy
New
- 0827 - doctoral prelim oral committee
- 0828 - master's and doctoral final committee
- 0829 - mater's plan c and doctoral w/no committee associated
All milestones will appear in the MyU Portal as well as student self-service in PeopleSoft after go-live in Spring 2015.
Some benefits of having the 0800 milestone populated are:
- Transparency for students regarding their time to degree
- Easier tracking for graduate programs to determine how much time a student has left to complete
- Opportunities for reporting
Currently, all milestones are added to the GRD record. Those DMS programs that are interested in exploring the addition of the 0800 milestone may contact Amber directly at knap0071@umn.edu.
