Change enrollment status to inactive or active
Updated 14 Feb 2024
After students enroll in your course, their course enrollment status is active. You can change the enrollment status for students from active to inactive, or from inactive to active.
You can't change the enrollment status for a student whose temporary access is expired. If the student pays for full course access, the Status setting is available again. If the student never pays for full access, the student remains with a Status of inactive.
Change enrollment status from active to inactive
- Select Manage Course, then Roles and Enrollment Status.
- In the Name column, find the student you want to make inactive. You can scroll or do either of the following:
In the search box, enter the first few letters of the student's name or email address.
In the letter bar, select the first letter of the last name.
- For Status, select Active and then select Inactive.
- Select
close to go back to the list.
The student's row is highlighted to indicate a change.
