Instructions
Your Term Plan: On the page labelled YOUR Term Plan, indicate your term goal(s), stretch goal(s), and the
tasks you will accomplish during the weeks of the term. Your tasks should make clear what you will be working
on and your plans for appropriate substantive submissions to your Mentor/Chair (refer to the syllabus for
more information). Remember that you must demonstrate substantial academic PROGRESS each term to
receive a satisfactory grade for the course.

By Day 7 of Week 2 | Submit your completed, agreed-upon Term Plan. [Chair notes acceptance on form.]
SMART GOALS can help you create a Term Goal that clearly articulates outcomes.
• Specific: Set specific goals, which have a much greater chance of being accomplished than general goals.
• Measurable: Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set.
• Attainable: Ensure that you can map out a clear path to achieving your goal.
• Realistic: Write a goal that represents an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work.
• Timely: Ground your goal within a time frame (i.e., by the end of this term).
Midterm Progress Check and Adequate Progress Final Review: Throughout the term, track
your progress on YOUR Term Plan by entering dates for task completion and by making journal notes on
activities completed or modifications needed, noting any barriers and strategies to overcome them. Your
Mentor/Chair must approve any modifications and can add journal notes on the plan document for archival
purposes. Submit your Updated Term Plan midterm, following your Midterm Progress Check. [Chair assesses
progress to date.] Submit your Final Term Plan by Day 7 of Week 11. [Chair assesses final grade.]
Capstone Stage Goals: Think about your long-term goal (anticipated date of program completion) as you
work on your Term Goal(s) and weekly tasks each term. Complete the Capstone Stage Goals. It is helpful to
think about overall progress as you think about term-by-term progress. Begin with the end in mind!

Looking Ahead | Capstone Stage Goals
To ensure that you meet your long-term goal for program completion, it is important to keep track of both
your term plan progress (each term) and your term-to-term/capstone stage progress toward completion.
LONG-TERM GOAL | Anticipated Date of Program Completion: 5/12/2019
Note: Time to completion will vary based on individual factors applicable to the student. Factors may be programmatic
or academic, such as tuition and fee increases; transfer credits accepted by Walden; program or specialization changes;
unsuccessful course completion; credit load per term; part-time vs. full-time enrollment; writing, research, and editing
skills; use of external data for the doctoral study/dissertation; and individual progress in the program. Other factors may
include personal issues such as the student’s employment obligations, caregiving responsibilities, or health issues; leaves
of absence; or other personal circumstances.
