The Vocational Completer page tracks whether a particular course from the student's transcript served as the final course for completing a Career & Technical Education program of study. The information on this page is included in the Student Grade History file for CEDARS data processing.

You can update fields on this page manually or on a course-by-course basis. You can also set up Graduation Requirement groups with rules facilitating automatic update of the Vocational Completer and Tech Prep Completer boxes through the WA Vocational Completer calculation.
