Transfer a student

Move a student from one course to a different course (optionally a specific edition). For moving between editions of the same course, use Move instead.

When to use

When a student should be in a different course altogether — e.g. they were enrolled in the wrong one, or are switching programs.

Where

• Opened from a course edition's Students tab → the transfer (compare-arrows) icon on a student row
• URL context: /partner/courses/:courseId/instances/:instanceId
• Roles: Owner / Admin / Manager.

Step-by-step

1. On the edition's Students tab, click the transfer (⇄ compare-arrows) icon on the student's row.
2. The dialog shows "From:" the current course. Pick the "Target course".
3. Optionally pick a "Target instance" (leave on "Auto" if the target course has a single edition).
4. Click "Transfer".

Fields & validation

Field	Required	Notes
Target course	yes	The course to move the student into.
Target instance	no	Specific edition; "Auto" is valid only when the target has exactly one edition.

What happens / outcome

The student is enrolled in the target course (toast "Transferred to …"). Per the dialog note: past attendance and grades stay with the original course as a historical record; payment status carries over; the enrollment status resets to "enrolled".

Edge cases & errors

• Move vs Transfer: the Move (swap) icon re-assigns within the same course's editions; Transfer (⇄) goes to a different course. Move only lists non-cancelled, non-completed editions.
• Transfer failures show a toast with the server message.

FAQ

• Will their attendance follow them? No — past attendance/grades remain on the original course as history; the new enrollment starts fresh as "enrolled".
• Same course, different date — which do I use? Use Move, not Transfer.
