Graduation dates in Fisdap serve two main purposes: to organize your students in filters throughout the website and a way to expire student accounts after they complete the course. 

If students need more time to complete the course, you can extend their graduation date. If student leaves the course prior to completion, you can mark them as left program.

Students self-report their graduation date when they first create their account. After that, they cannot change it. Only an instructor who can edit student accounts will be able to change a student's graduation date.

Graduation status definitions:

• In Progress: Indicates that the student is currently enrolled in your program and has not yet graduated.
• Left program: Indicates that the student left the program prior to graduating.
• Graduated: Indicates that the student graduated from the program.
• Completed but Failed to Graduate: Indicates that the student completed the program but failed to graduate.

To change a single student's graduation date/status:

1. Go to the orange Account tab.
2. Under the Student Accounts section, click Student Account Information.
3. Use the filters or type in the name of the student whose account you need to edit.
4. Change the student's graduate date or status in the righthand column.
