What happens when you remove a student

  • Group lessons: they leave all the course’s upcoming sessions. Past sessions and their attendance stay.
  • 1 to 1 lessons: all the course’s upcoming sessions are deleted. Past sessions and their attendance stay.
  • Their pack for this course and your bills aren’t deleted. You can still charge them for their past sessions.
  • SmartCookie doesn’t tell your student.
