Example:
Delete a College
If you'd like to delete a college, here is our recommendation:
- Create a report of the students in the college(s) that will be removed, and download the report. You'll need to move the students to a new or different college.
- Use the importer to change student's colleges in bulk; the field should be "primary_education:college_name". For more information, refer to Importer: Uploading Your First Student File.
- From there, once all the students have been moved, and you have verified the changes, you can either change the name of the college(s) to a variant of "DO NOT USE - "College Name", or simply delete them as with no students present in those colleges.
All reporting data will be preserved, just remember to use/reference the new college name(s) on the updated student profiles.
