# Updating Enrollment and Graduation Dates

## Context

ManageBac+ students have the following date fields that describe aspects of the students' journey with the school:

| Field                   | Description                                                         |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `attendance_start_date` | When the student started attending; the first day of their classes  |
| `withdrawal_on`         | When the student stopped attending; their last day of their classes |
| `graduated_on`          | When the student stopped attending; their last day of their classes |

The first field can be updated with the "Create a New Student" or "Update a Student" endpoints. The last two field can be set with the "Archive a Student" endpoint.
