What is the difference between Group Drop and Group Delete

When students are dropped from course, you need to put a drop date and the system records transaction for students being dropped out of a course on that date. Any attendance and assignment grades given till that day will be preserved. Schedule reports will show the start and entry date of the students in that course.

If an administrator makes an error in scheduling students into a course, then using the group delete function, that schedule can be deleted. Once deleted, the course enrollment transaction will not show in the students' schedule. Essentially you can start over.

Dropping retains schedule details. Deletion erases schedule details.
