Enter the Diploma Date:

If they are regular, end of year graduates, students will be withdrawn automatically, but if they graduated early, ask secretaries to submit the withdrawal form. If students are in the Grad Test Required calendar, counselors should send those to EMIS_STAFF to withdraw.

• 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 OGT (ex. 10-01-2018), or the date a student completed a final course In APEX and that final grade is posted (ex. 11-4-22) 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)!
