# Suspend, drop or reactivate an enrollment

> Pause a student's place in a group, remove them for good, or restore one you paused.

By default, owners and admins can suspend, drop or reactivate an enrollment.

<Note>
  Don't see this page or button? Your role doesn't include it. Ask your center's owner or an admin to give you the role you need.
</Note>

## Before you start

* The student must already be enrolled in the group. See [enroll students](/en/admin/groups/enroll-students).

## Suspend an enrollment

Use this to pause a student's place without giving up their seat — for example, while they're away for a few weeks.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the student's row">
    In the sidebar, select **Groups**, select the group, then on the **Students** tab, select the ⋯ button next to the student.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Suspend">
    Select **Suspend**. Confirm or change the **Date suspended** — it can be backdated to any day on or after the student's start date, but never into the future.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Select **Suspend**.

    <Note>
      A suspended student keeps their seat — it still counts against the group's **Capacity** and blocks enrolling someone else in their place. From the date you set, they drop off the class schedule and attendance.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Drop a student

Use this when a student is leaving the group for good.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the student's row">
    On the group's **Students** tab, select the ⋯ button next to the student.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Drop">
    Select **Drop**. In the **Drop student** dialog, enter a **Reason** — it's required — and confirm or change the **Date left**, bounded the same way as suspending.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Select **Drop student**.

    <Warning>
      Dropping a student frees their seat, but Cohort has no undo for it. To bring them back later, [enroll them](/en/admin/groups/enroll-students) again.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reactivate an enrollment

Only a suspended enrollment can be reactivated — a dropped one can't, since dropping is final.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the student's row">
    On the group's **Students** tab, select the ⋯ button next to the suspended student.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reactivate">
    Select **Reactivate**, then confirm by selecting **Reactivate** again. No reason or date is needed — their seat was never released.
  </Step>
</Steps>
