Remove or delete a student

In this article, we'll cover how to remove or delete a student as a teacher or as a manager.

Who this is for: teachers and managers

Available to: teachers on paid subscriptions. Removing and deleting students as a manager needs a paid multi-teacher subscription. If your district rosters through Clever or ClassLink, students are removed there instead of in Off2Class. See Rostering via SSO (Clever and ClassLink).

Before you start: on a multi-teacher subscription, a teacher can only remove students once a manager turns on Allow teachers to remove students. Nothing else is needed.

Removing a student takes them off your account and frees their place for a new student. You can reactivate a removed student later with their full work history, including Placement Test results, as long as the same email address is used. See Transfer or reactivate a student.

Deleting a student is permanent and removes their account and data. Only managers on multi-teacher subscriptions can delete students, so on a single-teacher account, removing is how you take a student off your account.

There isn't an option to pause or deactivate a student while keeping them in a class. To take a student off your account for now, remove them.
