OverviewStudent Milestones are non-course-related events or achievements that students must fulfill to take a course or to complete a degree. They can include things like:

placement exams, language requirements, portfolio completion, completion of departmental exams or completion of oral exams.

If necessary, you can limit the number of attempts allowed to complete a particular milestone. You can choose to display them on the student’s transcript (unofficial, official or none), including whether the milestone is completed, or when it is not completed but is required. You can add required but not yet completed milestones to student records and track the number of attempts or amount of time since the milestone was added to the record.

At ASU, some milestones will be added to individual student records automatically in a batch process, such as those for Math and English placement exams. This document addresses milestones that will be added manually to students’ records based on work reviewed by the academic units, such as the Art Portfolio review.

The most common activity is to add a completed milestone to a student’s record.

AccessIn order to enter student milestones, you will need to request theSR Milestone Update role. If you cannot see any milestones when you try to select one, you will need to request Milestone security from the Student Records Data Trustee.
