Add status column to course roster
The course roster can be improved with a new column to show status of the students and instructosr. Students start out as registered then progress to graduated, cancelled, failed, extended, etc. Instructors may also cancel, no show. Using the role column to carry that fact is not the best because then when the status changes we lose track of the actual role. For example, if the status changes to cancelled, we no longer know if the registration was for a student or an instructor.
By extension, this idea means that "graduated" is a status of the student role, not a role in it's own right. And "granted" is a status of the Equivalency Candidate role, not a role in it's own right.
Possibly the registration status column could be expanded for this purpose, but I really think that is a different fact and should be tracked separately.

Changing from DECLINED to CLOSED to follow the improved and streamlined feedback status options: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/new-technology-experience-manager-feedback-management-improvements

This would be similar to the "participant result" column that appears in course activities, except at the course level.

Another use for course status is to change from "enrolled" to "satisfied" when all field trips, lectures, and co-requisites are completed. Would help finding and verifying potential graduates.
