Change enrollment status to inactive or active

Updated 19 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.

  1. Select Manage Course, then Roles and Enrollment Status.
  2. In the Name column, find the student you want to make inactive. You can scroll or do either of the following:
    • none In the search box, enter the first few letters of the student's name or email address.
    • none In the letter bar, select the first letter of the last name.
  3. For Status, select Active and then select Inactive.
  4. Select the X in the gray circle close to go back to the list.

    The student's row is highlighted to indicate a change.

  5. Change the status for any additional students, if needed.
  6. Select Save to apply changes to all highlighted rows in the list.
  • The student has dropped the course.
  • The student plans to enroll in a different section of the same course (with a different course ID) in the same course term.

    If the student has completed any work in this course:
    Consider exporting the student's scores to pass along to the instructor of the other course section.

Students with inactive status don't appear in the Gradebook unless you filter your view. To do this, select Filter and choose Show inactive/suspended students?

  1. Select Manage Course, then Roles and Enrollment Status.
