Make a student active or inactive in a course
Updated 08 Nov 2023
You can use the roster to make a student active or inactive in your course. Inactive students no longer see your course in their course list and can't access your course content. Also, you can't promote an inactive student to the teaching assistant role.
- Select the enrolled number for the course on the My Courses page. For example, Enrolled: 10.
- To find the student you want to make inactive in the Name column, type a few letters of the student's name or email address in the search field. (Select Show All to clear your search results.) You can also choose the first letter of the student’s last name in the alphabetical list.
- In the Status column, select Active.
You cannot change the status if a student's access has expired. After the student pays for access, the Status menu is available.
- For Status, select Inactive.
- Close the window to go back to the list.
The student's row is highlighted to indicate a change.
- Change the status for additional students in the list, if necessary.
- Select Save to apply changes to all highlighted rows in the list, or select Cancel to discard all changes and close the roster.
The student's status is now Inactive.
