Drop a student

If a student leaves your class, there are two ways to remove them from your WeBWorK course. The first preserves all data about the student (scores thus far, etc.) just in case. The second one deletes the student from the WeBWorK system.

• Changing a student to drop If you change a student's status to drop, they will still be listed in your WeBWorK course, but they will not be able to login any more. If you need to see the student's scores, they are easy to retrieve, and it is easy to reactivate them.

  To change a student's status to drop,

  1. go to the Instructor Tools page
  2. click on the student you want from the left scrolling list
  3. click on "edit selected users" below
  4. on the resulting screen is a drop-down menu for Status, and you can select Drop
  5. click above to Save changes and then click the Take action! button.
• Delete a student from the course If you want to completely delete a student, and all data about them, from your WeBWorK course:
  1. click on User List in the left panel
  2. click the selection box next to the student(s) you want to delete.
  3. in the top portion is a red line starting with Delete. Click the radio button for that line, and change the drop-down item from no users to selected users.
  4. click the Take Action! button.
