Enter the date of the school/district’s graduation ceremony or, for former non-grads, the date they complete all graduation requirements.
This date usually corresponds to the date of the school’s graduation or the district’s summer graduation ceremony.

If students are in the Grad Test Required calendar, the EMIS staff will withdraw them provided the Graduation tab is completed.
When a former non-grad student does complete graduation requirements, enter the date that the student completed all requirements. This could be the date a student took and passed their final testing (ex. 10-01-2020), or the date a student completed a final course on VCAP and that final grade is posted (ex. 2-4-2021). Make sure you work with the records secretary to then WITHDRAW the student (this includes students who DID meet graduation requirements on time but the grad tab was not completed on time)!
