Welcome to Agentic Academic Calendar thatholds every add, drop, census, and refund date in one source.
The academic calendar lives in six places and agrees in none, and every mismatch becomes an appeal the institution loses. Risely's agents hold the dates as one source and compute the ripple of any change. The registrar and the provost approve before anything moves.

Faculty senate moves the spring drop deadline 3 days
new drop deadline · Mar 8
the refund tier boundary moves with it
census stays fixed · flagged as now closer to drop
Every date has one definition.
Add and drop, census, refund tiers, and withdrawal deadlines are defined once and versioned. Every downstream system reads the same truth, and the catalog stops disagreeing with the SIS.
The calendar of record
versioned
Every downstream system reads this source. The catalog stops disagreeing with the SIS.
The ripple is computed before the vote.
Moving one deadline moves a refund tier and crowds the census. Risely's agents render the full consequence map first, so the senate votes on the whole picture and the registrar approves with the effects already known.
An approved change lands everywhere the same day.
SIS enforcement, the aid office's federal calendar, and every student-facing page update together. No office enforces a date another office retired.
Propagation
running
No office enforces a date another office retired.
The stale copy is found where appeals start.
The documents still carrying the old date get flagged to their owners the day the change lands. A student who trusts a published date is never wrong, so a whole category of appeals never forms.
Still carrying the old date
swept after every change
The mismatch that seeds appeals hides in a document someone copied. The sweep finds it first.
One thing moves. The calendar propagates.
A senate vote, a state rule, a term compressed by a storm closure. Any of them moves a date other systems enforce, and every one runs the same way.
