Program Admin - Delete a student

Overview

This article explains how to delete a student from the DESSA System.

Process

Deleting a student does not delete their ratings from the system, as the ratings will be included on site-level and program-level reports. Students can be fully restored, if they are added back into the system with their same Student ID. If you wish to delete ratings from the system, that can be completed by following these steps.

If your program is SIS-managed, these steps do not apply, as you cannot delete students manually in the program. Students can only be removed by importing a new rostering file that does not include the students to be deleted.

To delete a student, follow the steps below:

1. Program Admin: Select the gear icon located in the top right corner of the screen.

2. From the dropdown menu, select Admin.

3. On the left side of the screen, select Students (Image 1)
