Academics: Find Students Near Graduation
Find all students who you expect to graduate soon.
You need to email them information about Commencement or assess a graduation fee. Or you wish to identify students who have fallen behind and need their expected graduation semester updated.
Considerations
Do you need to consider different academic programs differently? For example, you may have undergraduate and graduate students both graduating the same semester but you need to send them different communications regarding graduation ceremonies.
