- Graduation Dt – For Spring this is the Commencement date; for Summer and Fall this is the last day of classes in that term.
- Degr Approval Dt – For Spring this is also the Commencement date; for Summer and Fall this is the Monday following either Board of Trustees approval of the degree candidate list or OSR’s review of the final degree lists for that term, typically early October (summer degrees) and mid-to-late January (fall degrees).
- ITG Web Display Start, ITG Web Display Active, Filing Deadline, and ITG Web Display End – These settings control the Intent to Graduate displays for students at WebSTAC. Effective 10/2007, all three future graduation semesters should have active an web display. On the Degree Approval Date, OSR makes the current graduating semester’s ITG inactive on the web and the corresponding semester’s ITG for the following year active.
