Most prospective employers will tell you how long your application will remain on file with them. Take that time period and work backwards from your degree completion date to determine your initial application date. This will place you in consideration if no fully qualified candidates apply, if a selection doesn't work out in a filled position (especially if this should occur close to your graduation date), and it establishes an enduring interest in the employer. Your graduation date then becomes your resume update/application resubmission time, concurrent with your new credentials, for all of the places that you've applied to (you'd have to update all of your applications at this time anyway) with no lapse in your candidacy.
