Can the username then be changed at the end of the semester? Will this prevent the user from accessing courses they were enrolled in under the old username from prior semesters?

What is currently done at MSU in the case where a student changes his/her MSUNetID (used as the username in the msu domain) mid-semester, is to have the user continue to log-in using the "old" MSUNetID until the end of the semester. A domain coordinator will change the first name, last name and "permanent" e-mail address associated with the "old" username in LON-CAPA. In the event that changing an institutional username also causes authentication to stop working for the "old" username, then a domain coordinator can also change the authentication type to "internal" and direct the student to (a) use /adm/resetpw to set a password, and thereafter log-in via /adm/login (i.e., not use SSO) for the remainder of the semester. If you use automated enrollment there will be an entry in the autoenroll.log file noting that a potential username change has been detected (based on the student/employee ID being used for two different usernames - the one in LON-CAPA -- "old" username -- and the one in the institutional classlist -- "new" username). Automated enrollment does not drop the old username from the classlist and add the new username to the classlist in this instance.
