In Graduate CAS, each section of the application is represented by different tiles featuring segmented progress bars. As you complete each section, the progress bars will change color from gray to green. When you look at the Graduate CAS home screen display, if any segments of the progress bars are still grayed out, that means there is an incomplete item. Once all the progress bars are green, you can then navigate to the Submit Application page.
