New GPAS training and website content

New training and website content have been developed for the Graduate Planning and Audit System (GPAS). The improved GPAS System Training provides users with a comprehensive understanding of the system as a whole. The new GPAS webpage features system access information, contact information, and eight new user guides. ​​The previous GPAS website, training, and help guides are being retired. Please make sure to update any bookmarks you have. 

On November 18, all current GPCs, DGSs, and College Coordinators were enrolled in the training, and all new GPCs, DGSs, and College Coordinators will be required to complete it before gaining access to GPAS. Faculty advisors and anyone else who uses GPAS would benefit from taking the new training and are encouraged to complete it and review the user guides.
