Please Read First: If your district syncs Otus to your SIS (Student Information System) for rostering, please contact your SIS administrator before removing a student to ensure that the removal will be permanent. If the student is not removed from your class in your SIS, they will reappear in your Otus class with the nightly sync.

Remove a Student From a Class

From a teacher account

  • Step 1: Navigate to the Students tab in the Classes module.

  • Step 2: Select the student you wish to remove from a class.

  • Step 3: In the student's profile, select the Information tab, then select Classes. Hover over the class you wish to remove the student from, then choose the trash can icon. Select Yes if you still wish to remove that student.

From an Admin Account

While Admins can also navigate to the student profile following the method described above, it may be more straightforward to search for the student from your Home/District module.

  • Step 1: From the Home module, select the Students tab in the secondary navigation bar.

  • Step 2: Search for a student by first and/or last name, then click Enter/Return.

  • Step 3: Click the student tile for the student you wish to remove from classes. This will take you to the student's profile.

  • Step 4: In the student's profile, select the Information tab, then select Classes. Hover over the class you wish to remove the student from, then choose the trash can icon. Select Yes if you still wish to remove that student.


FAQ and Troubleshooting

Why does my student keep reappearing in my class the next day after I've removed them?

If your district syncs Otus to your SIS (Student Information System) for rostering, you will need to contact your SIS administrator to have them removed from your roster. If the student is not removed from your class in your SIS, they will reappear in your Otus class with each nightly sync.

If I remove a student from a class, does all of their data get deleted as well?

No, student data is not deleted when they are removed from a class, rather, it becomes "hidden", since they are no longer actively enrolled in the class. To see data from a previous student (including assessment scores and gradebook entries), the student can be added back to the class, and all data will reappear.
