Deleting studies from the PLP

Study units or courses can be selected to be deleted from the PLP either one by one or several study units at the same time. Only a staff member with a proper authorisation to do so may permanently delete a course. The courses marked to be deleted will no longer be shown on the other PLP tabs.

Deleting a course

The deletion of a course is a two-step process. In the first step, the course is marked to be deleted, and it will no longer be shown in the student’s PLP. This step can be completed by a student or staff member. In the second step, the course will be permanently deleted. The second step can only be completed by a staff member with a proper authorisation to do so.

First step:

• Click the x button at the end of a course row to mark it for deletion.
  • Courses that have been marked as compulsory cannot be deleted.
  • A student can use this procedure to e.g. indicate that they do not intend to complete an alternative course.
  • A course that has been marked to be deleted will no longer be shown on the other PLP tabs.

Second step:

• The permanent deletion of the course is carried out by a staff member.
• The staff member deletes the course permanently by clicking the recycle bin button.
  • If the course has already been graded, it will not be deleted from the student but moves to external studies in the PLP.
