All Requirements Met: Satisfied
This is how the entire advisement report appears if your student has satisfied every requirement.
Every Section appears in a collapsed state indicating that there are no more courses to take and that the student should be preparing for Graduation.

Graduate Policies for the student’s specific program.
If a course violates a policy, the course/s will
display in its respective section. Notice the
“Computational Physics” transfer course listed
here violates the 7 year policy
Should the student need to use a 4000-level course to satisfy a program requirement above the 30 hr minimum (Pre Reqs etc. )you may use the eform to move this course.
I grades will be held here until they change
If a course falls in the report that you don’t want to use, you must use the eform to request that it be removed from the Plan of Study.
All C grades will be held in the Unsatisfactory
Grade box. The program must indicate through
the eform which of those grades (if any) they
would like to use in the student’s Plan of Study.
Note: Courses that are excluded from the policy section will not show if the student returns for a degree on the same level

Graduate Milestones will vary based on Degree level. Master’s students that are non-thesis will not have milestones.
Every Program has certain milestones students are required to meet. Once Met, these requirements will be marked Satisfied!
I just wanted to point out that these numbers were created when we built the requirements and are there for referencing certain blocks of information if we ever need to troubleshoot a problem in a certain area. They are also required whenever you request a change in the students GPS using the eForm.
