Change to Prelim Oral Exam (0807) milestone reporting

As we continue to make improvements to student milestones, Graduate Student Services & Progress (GSSP) would like to make you aware of a milestone reporting change from the Graduate Education Student Report for Majors/Minors (G032) in UM Reports.

If a student passes their prelim oral exam with reservations, GSSP staff enter the Prelim Oral Exam (0807) milestone as “Pass with reservations,” which is then indicated in the UM Report as “P-R.” Instead of adding another milestone once the reservations are resolved, GSSP staff are changing the initial milestone to “Pass (P) - reservations removed.” This method is beneficial to the student, as they will only see one milestone on their record in the new MyU portal. However, it was noticed that after the milestone is changed to “Pass (P) - reservations removed,” there is no record indicating the student completed exam reservations in the UM Report; the record in the report is blank.

To see the student’s full 0807 milestone record, view in:
PeopleSoft by following Main Menu > Records and Enrollment > Enroll Students > Student Milestones
(Pre-PeopleSoft Upgrade): UM Reports > Graduate Education Student Report for Majors/Minors (G032) > click on the student name or ID
(Post-PeopleSoft Upgrade): MyU > Key Links > Reporting Center > Student Services > Student Records > Graduate Education Student Report for Majors/Minors

Due to the reporting changes addressed above, GSSP recommends referencing the Milestones page in PeopleSoft for the most current and complete milestone data. Please view this Milestone Tutorial (UPK) to view the full milestone changes that will occur from 8.9 to 9.0 PeopleSoft.
Any questions regarding this update can be directed to gssp@umn.edu.
