Advancement to Candidacy Workflow on Gradpoint

Department and Graduate Division Responsibilities

The Faculty Graduate Advisor must approve Step 4 of the Advancement to Candidacy workflow to confirm that:

  1. The student has completed all required coursework & departmental milestones

  2. The student is registered

If the student does not meet those requirements, don’t approve the workflow because the student is not yet eligible to advance to candidacy. Hold it until the requirements are met, then sign it.

The Graduate Division Academic Services staff is responsible for (Steps 5 & 6):

  • reviewing any reported language requirements for accuracy (i.e. spelling, dates)

  • GDASU can override a requirement in rare cases where unfinished coursework is not necessary for advancement

  • charging the advancement to candidacy fee to the student’s BARC account
