Group Delete Students and Teachers in openSIS

Group Delete Students and Teachers

Overview

The Group Delete feature allows administrators to permanently remove scheduled student or teacher assignments from one or more course sections. Unlike Group Drop, this action does not record a drop date or preserve the scheduling transaction.

This feature is commonly used to correct scheduling errors, remove incorrect assignments, or reset scheduling before assigning students or teachers again.

Before You Begin

Before deleting scheduled assignments, ensure that:

  • The correct academic year and marking period are selected.
  • The students or teachers were scheduled by mistake or no longer require the assignment.
  • You understand that deleted scheduling records cannot be recovered.

Delete Scheduled Students

  1. Navigate to Scheduling > Group Delete.
  2. Select Students as the record type.
  3. Search for and select the required course section.
  4. Review the list of scheduled students.
  5. Select one or more students whose schedules should be removed.
  6. Click Delete Selected Students.
  7. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

The selected scheduling assignments are permanently removed from the course section.

Delete Scheduled Teachers

  1. From the Group Delete page, select Teachers as the record type.
  2. Search for and select the required course section.
  3. Review the teachers assigned to the course section.
  4. Select one or more teachers.
  5. Click Delete Selected Teachers.
  6. Confirm the deletion.

The selected teacher assignments are permanently removed from the course section.

Notes

  • Group Delete permanently removes scheduling assignments.
  • No drop date is recorded.
  • Deleted scheduling records cannot be restored.
  • If the assignment is required again, it must be recreated using the appropriate scheduling feature.

Best Practices

  • Use Group Delete only when correcting scheduling mistakes.
  • If a student or teacher is leaving a course after scheduling has taken effect, use Group Drop instead so the scheduling history is preserved.
  • Review the selected records carefully before confirming the deletion.
