    When a loan due date is shortened due to patron expiry, Alma will retain and internal  an indication for that on the loan record. This way when the patron expiry is updated (shortened OR extended) the loan due date will be recalculated using the loan date (i.e. as if the recalculation is happening at loan time). 


    This way, the due date may be extended or shortened according to the new expiry date.

    None of the "change due date" options for graduating students work for us. We can get our patron load adjusted so that current students who have applied for graduation have an expiration date moved to the current term's end. However, because the patron expiration date is not considered a due date calculation event, the patron's due dates are not adjusted and patrons are not sent notices about their new due dates. We would like to have the expiration date become a due date calculation event as well and have that event trigger the change due date notice.
