Deleting Student User Accounts

This article outlines how to delete a single student user, how to delete multiple student users, and common FAQs about student account deletion.

FAQs

I deleted a student user. Why do I still see their account on the platform?
Please allow the system 24 hours to delete the user. Note that when a student user is deleted, a window appears that states the following: “User has been deactivated and successfully flagged for deletion. The deletion occurs within 24 hours.” A deactivated user does not have access to the platform.

 

I have accidentally deleted a student user. Is this reversible?
Unfortunately, deleting a student user is an irreversible action. When an admin deletes a student user, they must check a box to confirm the following: “I understand that deleting a student user will delete the user and all data associated with their account. This action can not be undone.”

 

Will I still be able to view a deleted student’s data (e.g. their outcomes, job applications, booked appointments, attended events, etc.)?
No. When a user is deleted, all of their associated data is deleted. If you would like to keep a student’s data in the system and ensure they do not have access to the platform, consider setting them to inactive status.
