# How to remove a learner's access to a course

**Who can do this:** Super Admin, Admin, or Staff with the Enrollment Management permission

Unenrolling removes a learner’s access. Use it when someone was enrolled by mistake, has left your organisation, or no longer needs the course.

## Steps
**Step 1:** Open the course, then click **Enrollments**.

**Step 2:** Click **Manage Enrollments**.

**Step 3:** Find the learners you want to remove, using **Search Learners** or **Filter**.

**Step 4:** Tick the checkbox beside each learner. The **Unenroll** button turns red once at least one is selected.

**Step 5:** Click **Unenroll**.

A confirmation appears: *“You are about to unenroll N learner(s) from this course. They will lose access immediately. This action cannot be undone.”*

**Step 6:** Click **Unenroll** to confirm, or **Cancel**.

**Step 7:** Click **Done** to leave editing mode.

## What happens to the learner

| **Access** | Removed immediately |
| --- | --- |
| **Progress** | Kept. If you re-enrol them later, they resume where they left off |
| **Certificate** | Any certificate already earned remains valid |

**Warning:** Access is removed immediately. A learner part-way through a course loses it mid-session.

**Tip:** Because progress survives, unenrolling is the right tool for someone who shouldn’t have access now but might return. You aren’t destroying their work.

**Tip:** To move someone between modes rather than remove them, use the Mode dropdown instead. See [How to change a learner’s enrolment mode](/product/enrollment-and-publishing/how-to-change-a-learner-s-enrolment-mode/).
