Understanding the difference between deleting and withdrawing a student in FinalForms is crucial for maintaining accurate records and compliance. This guide will help you navigate these options effectively, ensuring you choose the right action for your situation.

Deleting a student account is a permanent action that removes all associated records. This option should be used sparingly and only in specific circumstances.

• The account was created in error.

• No records need to be retained.

1. Go to Manage > Students.

2. Click Edit on the student’s row.

3. Click Delete Student.

Remember, deletions are irreversible and may require assistance from FinalForms.

Withdrawing a student is the preferred method when a student leaves the school, but records need to be retained for future reference.

• A student leaves the school.

• Records must be retained.

1. Go to Manage > Students.

2. Click Edit on the student’s row.

3. Set a District Exit date.

4. Save changes.

Note that withdrawing a student does not automatically remove them from rosters.

Withdrawing a student instead of deleting them has several important benefits:

• Preserves enrollment history

• Maintains compliance records

• Supports accurate reporting

• Enrollment Mode & Applicants

• Managing Registration & Enrollment Records

• Merging Duplicate Student Accounts
