Thanks everyone for the quick answers and confirming that blocking access to certain apps needs to happen on the SP.

Transcript requests and our alumni community portal are two services offered primarily to this population. Many continue to use their e-mail as well. Some "ex-students" leave for one reason or another and then return; they need to, among other things, use their log-in to register for class.

Our use case is that we want former students who are not currently active to have access to only certain SPs and we'd like to control that with Shibboleth based in an attribute indicating status. Is this possible? If not, how do others handle this use case?
