Milestone Tracking FAQ

My committee members are not showing up in the drop down menus of Milestone Six, therefore I cannot submit. What do I do?

Contact Nathan Blackburn at blackburnn@ohio.edu with the name and OU email of the committee member, as well as what role they serve on your committee (chair, dean's rep, committee member) and what their home college is (College of Arts & Sciences, HCOM, etc).

I'm being told that I need a free trial to do the milestones. What do I do?

This was an issue that occurred when milestones were first rolled out. If you are still experiencing this issue, please ensure that you are registered for any number of credit hours in the Spring 2026 semester. If you are not, contact Nathan Blackburn at blackburnn@ohio.edu to get permissions to access the milestones.

My committee chair is not available to be selected as chair. However, I can select them as a committee member. What do I do?

Contact Nathan Blackburn directly at blackburnn@ohio.edu for more information with the name of your committee chair.

I get an email after I submit, telling me one of my committee members is inactive. What do I do?

Contact Nathan Blackburn at blackburnn@ohio.edu with the name and email of the committee member.

What is a Dean's Representative?

The Dean's Representative is the person on your committee who is outside of your college (so, if you are a Patton student, someone from the College of Arts and Sciences, vice versa). This is sometimes referred to as an "outside member."

What is Power Apps?

Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform within the Microsoft Power Platform that lets users build custom business applications quickly using visual tools like drag-and-drop, formulas (like Excel), and pre-built templates, without needing extensive coding skills.

It CANNOT access information such as student grades.
