# Students in a batch

> Add and remove students, what they are told, and what they see.

## Add students

1. Open the batch and click **Add students** at the top. The **Bulk enroll** panel opens with the batch chosen.
2. Tick the students on the left and move them across.
3. Leave **Notify students by email** on to tell them, then click **Enroll**.

There are no dates to fill in: students join on the batch's own dates. You can add students to a **Draft** batch; they see it once you publish it. You can't add students to an archived batch.

You can also add a student to a batch from their student form, where batches are listed beside courses.

## See who is in a batch

Click **Students** at the top of the batch, or open **Enrollments** and choose **Batches**. Pick the batch in the **Batch** filter.

On the **Enrollments** page, the choice at the top reads **Batches**, **Courses**, **Online tests** and **All**, for the modules your academy has. A course a student has only because of a batch says **via batch** and the batch's name. You can't change its end date or remove it on its own: it is managed through the batch.

## Remove a student

On **Enrollments**, open the student's batch row's menu and click **Remove from batch**, or remove it from their student page. From today they can't open the batch, or the courses and online tests that came with it. **Everything they did is kept**: finished classes, quiz attempts and any certificate. Their row shows **removed, progress kept**.

- **Add them back** the usual way, with **Add students**: the batch opens again with their work as they left it.
- **Delete for good:** remove the row a second time (**Delete with their progress**). Their batch progress is deleted, as when you remove someone from a course.

## What students are told

- **Added to a batch**, when you tick **Notify students by email**.
- **Your batch starts tomorrow**, the day before it starts.
- **New class**, when you publish a class and tick **Notify batch students**.
- **Your access ends in a week / tomorrow**, before the batch closes.

Students can switch these off in their notification settings. You can reword the emails under **Settings → Emails**.

## What students see

Students find batches on a **My batches** tab in **My Courses**. Each batch shows its dates and **Upcoming**, **Ongoing**, **Completed** or **Access closed**. Opening one shows its classes and, under **Comes with this batch**, the attached courses and online tests.
