When they join a course, your student is added to all its upcoming sessions, except cancelled ones. Past sessions don't change.

Your student only leaves this course: they stay in your **Students** list and in their other courses.

## 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.
* If you've connected Google Calendar, these changes don't reach Google Calendar by themselves. They get there when you change and save each session in SmartCookie.

## What you can't do

* You can't have more than one student in a **1 to 1 lessons** course. If you try, you'll see "The course already has a student". Create another course for the new student.
* You can't add or remove students in **Meetings 1 to 1** or **Open doors**. People join by booking from your booking link.
* You can't remove a student from a course on their page. Do it from the course page.
