ProgressBook Suite v20.1.0 Release
Good Morning,
On Thursday, October 15th we will install a very large release that has quite a few changes. Please
note that you will see these changes the morning of Friday, October 16th. Some you may see when
you first log in, and others once you navigate to specific pages. Please see the below
StudentInformation changes that most apply to you. I have also attached the newest End User
Requirements document for you to review.  End User Requirements
Graduation Points

Grids with at least one checkbox selected display as expanded by default.
