Currently, when someone makes edits to a record, the graduation date defaults to the first option on the dropdown list.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

When making edits, the graduation semester should remain as the one originally selected when the record was created.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or workarounds you've considered.

How will this impact users? A clear and concise description of how many and which types of users would benefit from this feature, or any who may be negatively impacted by the change.

Students will have to make less edits to their records. SCO representatives won't have to step in to do secondary edits to fix the problem after students have made their edits. When records that have already been published require edits, DCE will not have to get involved to fix the graduation date if it's no longer an option in the dropdown.
