My Grad Journey - System Overview for ARCS Approvers

    Tuesday, October 14, 2025 at 12:30 PM until 1:30 PMCentral Daylight Time UTC -05:00

    We invite ARCS Faculty and Staff Approvers to join the Graduate and Professional School for an informational overview of the My Grad Journey system.

    My Grad Journey is an innovative individual development plan (IDP) tool that allows graduate & professional students to view their current academic progress and enter details about their academic, research, professional development activities, and career aspirations. My Grad Journey seeks to be the place where students, committee members, and authorized staff can coordinate feedback and be transparent in their annual and ad-hoc review processes as well as provide a way for students to track changes in their trajectory, career goals, and aspirations.

    This session will walk through the different components of the My Grad Journey system and use case examples for faculty and departments. It will also outline the unique role ARCS Approvers have in the system.
