At the top of every degree completion timeline are requirements for all graduate students. Some of these requirements are based on when a student started a degree, so not all students will have the same requirements appearing.  If a requirement is complete, the item will display a green check and the date completed on the far right (not shown). Links will take students to the form, or more information about that requirement on the Graduate School’s web page.
