Welcome

The Graduate Planning and Audit System (GPAS) is a tool accessed through MyU that consists of two parts that work together: the planner and the audit.

The GPAS planner helps students and advisors map out future coursework needed to complete a degree.
The GPAS audit, or advisement report, displays completed student progress toward degree requirements.

Provost Karen Hanson and the GPAS team recognize the significant impact GPAS has on program processes. Thank you for your time and effort throughout GPAS implementation as well as ongoing work toward enhancing the system for student success.

Why use GPAS?

Enhance student services by making curriculum requirements, degree progress, and advising more transparent
Provide consistency and accuracy of student records for student progress and advising
Strengthen the metrics framework to better understand graduate student progress and time-to-degree
Support programmatic and curricular decisions by providing detailed reporting from a central system

Meet the GPAS team

The GPAS team is responsible for implementing the GPAS system in graduate and professional programs, supporting the GPAS system, troubleshooting GPAS functionality issues, programming curriculum changes in GPAS when they are approved in PCAS, and enhancing GPAS functionality to support the needs of students, faculty, and staff. Meet the following team members:

Stacia Madsen (Project lead & Business/Systems analyst)

- - Stacia has worked in graduate education since 2006. She first began in Graduate Student Services and Progress (GSSP), which was in the Graduate School Office at the time. Stacia became a business analyst (BA) during the Enterprise Systems Upgrade Project (ESUP) to support GPAS implementation. Outside of work, Stacia loves to travel and SCUBA dive in remote locations around the world. On one of her SCUBA adventures in North Carolina, she found a megalodon shark tooth! Closer to home, she enjoys running ultramarathons, including 50k and 50-mile races. She loves to cuddle with her dog, Luna, while reading and learning about something new; she is looking for the next great non-fiction read.
