Suspend or Unenrol Learners?

If a learner is expected to have a planned and long absence, should you unenrol them or suspend them from your course?

Suspended users are no longer able to access any of their courses on Avenue but their data (Attendance, grades, logs, activities) is preserved, so it is possible for them to return to their course at a later time.

Suspended users don’t show in the gradebook unless a teacher changes their Grader report preferences to show all users.

Unenrolled users are permanently removed from a course. Their data, grades and logs are removed. 

Suspension or Unenrolment? It is your choice based on the expectation that the learner is returning to the course or not.

Note: Suspensions or Unenrolments do not remove the learner from the Avenue system.
