# Mark a Program Activity as Complete

After completing all required sections of a program activity, you can mark the record as complete. Marking a program activity as complete signals that the record is finished and ready for review.

## Check Completion Status

Before marking a program activity as complete, verify that all required sections are finished. The **Program Progress** panel on the right side of the program activity detail page shows:

* Your current **completion percentage**.
* A **checklist** of all required sections and their status (complete or incomplete).

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** All items in the Program Progress checklist must be marked as complete before you can mark the program activity as complete. Required sections vary based on your organization's settings and the program areas selected.
{% endhint %}

## Mark as Complete

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Program Activity

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu and click **Program Activities**. Select the program activity from the list to open its detail page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Mark as Complete

On the program activity detail page, click the **Mark as Complete** button.

If any required sections are incomplete, PEARS displays a list of the missing items. Complete the required sections before proceeding.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Confirm Completion

PEARS asks you to confirm that you want to mark the program activity as complete. Click **Confirm** to proceed.

The program activity is now marked as complete and a **Completed** badge appears on the detail page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Mark as Incomplete

If you need to make changes to a completed program activity, you can mark it as incomplete to re-enable editing.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the Completed Program Activity

Navigate to the program activity detail page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Mark as Incomplete

On the detail page, click the **Mark as Incomplete** button. The completed badge is removed and all sections are editable again.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Verification (if applicable)

Some organizations use a verification step to review and approve completed program activities. If your organization has this feature enabled:

* A **Mark as Verified** button appears on the detail page of a completed program activity.
* Only users with verification permissions can mark a program activity as verified.
* Once verified, the program activity is considered officially reviewed and approved.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** Verification is a separate step from completion. A program activity can be marked as complete without being verified. Contact your PEARS administrator if you have questions about your organization's verification process.
{% endhint %}
