Award a milestone

This is the awkward one, and worth reading before you go looking. You hold the permission to award milestones, but Programs is not in your sidebar and the student Progress tab is a read-only timeline with no award button. The page works — it just is not linked from anywhere you can see. Bookmark it.

Award a milestone to a student

Type or bookmark /studios/{studioId}/programs

  1. Go to /studios/{studioId}/programs — type the URL, or use a bookmark.
  2. Click the program name.
  3. Find the student in the enrolled-students list and click Award Milestone.
  4. The dialog is "Award Milestone", described as "Recognize {name}’s progress. Their family will be notified."
  5. Pick the Milestone. Anything already earned is shown with " (already achieved)" and cannot be picked.
  6. Optionally add Notes — up to 2,000 characters, placeholder "e.g., Great form on basic kata".
  7. Optionally attach a ceremony photo with "Upload a photo (optional)". JPEG, PNG or WebP only.
  8. Click Award. You get "{name} achieved “{milestone}”. Their family has been notified."
  • In a sequential program only the next unearned milestone can be selected. The rest read " (locked — earn earlier milestones first)". A flexible program lets you pick any unearned one.
  • The Award Milestone button is disabled when the student has earned everything, and absent entirely when the program has no milestones defined.
  • If a photo upload fails, the award is abandoned rather than saved without the photo. Try again.
  • You cannot create programs or define milestones — that needs the class-management permission, so the Create Program control will not render for you.
