Graduation Date Change

A Graduation Date Change only applies to students whose MyProgress Graduation Status states "Applied for Graduation", "On Track", or "Off Track" AND who will complete graduation requirements earlier or later than their MyProgress graduation term. 

Students who have applied for graduation will not have access to enroll in courses after their listed graduation term. As a result, students will not be able to access Spartan Connect appointments.
