  • Ready access to information on their postgraduate candidates to better plan future commitments and manage existing responsibilities, including monitoring individual student progress, Milestones, RTS, key dates, enrolment status etc…
  • Create, edit and review Milestone Assessments, including recommending Extensions. Milestone Assessments are signed off by the Principle Advisor and Committee Chair (using their LDAP identification) and once signed are no longer editable. The signed off assessment is automated forwarded to the Postgraduate Administrator with the Graduate School’s form ready for finalization.
  • Enables Principal Advisors to manage Candidature Committee membership.
