Graduating Seniors Process (Massachusetts)

This article describes the process for properly graduating a student. 

Step 1. Setup Graduation Day Event

The first step is to :

  1. Navigate to the Days tab (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Days)
  2. Select the day of graduation. The Day Detail editor will appear. 
  3. Select the Period Schedule.
  4. Click Add Day Event.
  5. Select SD: Graduates.
  6. Click Save. Move on to Step 2 of this article. 

Step 2. Setup Up the Graduating Student

On the student's last day, enter the following information on their enrollment record:

  1. Navigate to the student's enrollment record (Student Information > General > Enrollments).
  2. Set the End Date to the same day as the Graduates day event you setup in Step 1.
  3. Set the Local Enrollment Status to 1921: Graduated with regular, advanced, international Baccalaureate, or other type of diploma OR 1928: Completed grade 12, but did not meet all graduation requirements
  4. Select Save

When the End Date is entered on the enrollment, a roster end date will be entered for all the courses a student is rostered into. Because a roster end date is entered, the courses will show as dropped on the end date in the Parent/Student Portal. This is expected behavior and is the direction Infinite Campus recommends to ensure proper functionality and state reporting.
