If a student is billed by section, the funding end date is the withdrawal date for Course Progression (Progression Type).

For Fail Out of Program, Course Completion, and Full Program Completed (Progression Type), the funding end date is the end of the term.
Based on the section selected from the Section to Drop pull-down, actively enrolled students will be listed by Student Name, Student ID, Gradebook Grade, Final Grade, Attended Hours, Start Date, End Date, W/D Code, and the Progressed status.
