# How to disable or delete a student

When a student completes their studies or decides to change institution, you can choose between two actions: **disable the student** or **delete them**.

**Difference between disabling and deleting**

• **Deleting the student record**:

This action permanently removes all student data. **It is not recommended immediately**, as the data will no longer be recoverable.

• **Disabling the student**:

This action keeps the student data archived. It is advisable to disable the student, keep them archived for a few years, and then, if necessary, delete them. Disabled students do not count towards the license limit, so this option is always preferable.

**How to delete a student**

1. Access the **Students** section from the main menu.

2. Select **Student List**.

Make sure you are logged in as **Coordinator**.

3. Next to each student, you will find a **red trash can** icon.

4. **Click the icon** to permanently delete the student.

**Note**: Once deleted, the student’s data cannot be recovered.

**How to disable a student**

1. Access the **Students** section and open **Student List**.

2. Next to the red trash can icon, you will find a **yellow eye** icon.

3. **Click the yellow icon** to disable the student.

**How to view and re-enable disabled students**

1. Go to the **Student List** section.

2. Click on **Advanced Search** (available on the same page).

3. In the filter bar, change the **Enabled** filter by selecting:

• **Disabled**: To see only disabled students.

• **All**: To see both enabled and disabled students.

4. To **re-enable a disabled student**, click the yellow eye icon again next to the student's name.
