# Edit a student

> Change a student's details or branch, or set their status, for example to mark them as graduated.

By default, owners and admins can edit students. Managers can open a student's page but can't change it.

<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>

## Edit the student's details

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the student">
    In the sidebar, select **Students**, then select the student in the list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the edit form">
    At the top of the student's page, select the ⋯ button, then select **Edit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Change what you need">
    Under **Personal**, you can change **First name**, **Last name**, **Date of birth** and **Gender**. Under **Contact**, you can change **Phone**, **Email**, **Branch** and **Address**.

    Changing the **Branch** doesn't take the student out of the groups they're already in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Select **Save student**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

If the email you entered already belongs to someone else, Cohort shows "This email is already used by another user." Each person needs their own email address, or none.

The same form is also where you connect another guardian and set a new password. See [Manage guardians](/en/admin/students/guardians) and [Reset a student's password](/en/admin/students/reset-a-student-password).

## Change the student's status

Every student has a status: **Active**, **Inactive**, **Graduated** or **Suspended**. It appears next to the student's name and in the **Students** list, so your team can see at a glance who is still studying with you.

To change it, open the edit form as above. Under **Status**, choose the **Student status**, then select **Save student**.

The status is a label for your team. Here's what it changes, and what it doesn't:

| | What happens |
| - | - |
| The **Students** list | Shows only **Active** students at first. To find students with another status, choose **All**, **Inactive**, **Graduated** or **Suspended** above the list. |
| Enrolling in a group | Only active students come up when you enroll students in a group. |
| Groups and invoices | Nothing changes. The student stays enrolled in their groups, and invoices for those groups keep being generated. |
| Signing in | Nothing changes. The student can still sign in to the Student console and see their invoices and history. |

<Warning>
  Marking a student **Inactive**, **Graduated** or **Suspended** doesn't remove them from their groups. To take a student out of a group, open the group and drop or suspend their enrollment on its **Students** tab.
</Warning>
