I have begun using the anticipated graduation date on degree audits. Because the May 2020 graduation is so close—though suspended by COVID—I started with my one Summer 2020 graduate. Then I created a new graduation entry (non-ceremony) for December 2020 and added the date to the three students who will complete MDiv then.
I have 14 students who will graduate in May 2021, and three more in Summer 2021. Would it be possible to add the anticipated graduation date to the fields which may be completed in the bulk update? (This is in Staff Portal > Students > Advanced Search > Update Selected.)
Thank you and stay safe!

Hello,
This in theory sounds like a simple and easy addition but due to the way that Graduation dates are tied to certain degrees and also to Degree Candidacy this would probably need be designed as a separate function similar to the Academics > Administration > Student Classification Analysis.

If you click update selected on Student Search and then update degrees, there is now a section for degree candidacy. Select the student/degree track to be updated and you may update the anticipated graduation date, anticipated ceremony, or graduation date (from graduation date list, it will update degree candidacy and the student degree track). All other fields on degree candidacy seemed student specific, so you will need to go to each student to update any other degree candidacy fields.
I have also added sections on to Academics > Student > Administration > Graduation Date to list students/degrees associated with the graduation date (Anticipated graduation, anticipated ceremony, and actual graduation).
This will be included in the next version 2.50.

Hello, I just added a new graduation date for December 2021, even though it's not a ceremony. When I tried the bulk update, this new date did not appear in the pick list. However, when I updated a student individually through Academics, it did appear. I selected the date then verified that the update took through the student record, the degree audit, and Academics>Administration>Graduation Set Up.
