+### 19.0.2.0.1
+
+- fix(views): add a "Graduation Criteria" menu item directly under the Graduation root, plus a list/form/search view and action for `spp.graduation.criteria`. The model and ACL were already shipped, but no UI surface existed — criteria could only be edited indirectly through the pathway form. Visible to `group_spp_graduation_user` and above.
+
 ### 19.0.2.0.0
 
 - Initial migration to OpenSPP2
