# Signing Out a Participant from a Group Course

Did a participant withdraw before the course started and you need to remove them completely? Or did someone decide to quit after the course had already begun?

In ActiveNow you can easily sign a participant out from a course in two ways: ***from a specific date*** or ***from the course beginning***. Both options are available in the ***Courses*** and ***Participants*** tabs.

## Signing out from the Participants tab

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Go to the Participants tab**

Open the *Participants* tab in the left menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select the participant**

Find and select the participant you want to sign out.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Go to the Courses section**

In their profile, go to the *Courses* section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Sign out the participant**

Next to the course you want to sign them out from, click *Actions* → *Sign out*.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Choose the sign-out option**

In the window, choose one of the two options:

* ***Sign out from the course beginning*** — to remove them completely from the start.
* ***Sign out from a specific date*** — if they should stop attending from a specific day. Enter the date of their last class.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Save changes**

Confirm by clicking ***Sign out***.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**Note:** For individual courses, instead of *Sign out* you will see *Finish course*.

## Where does a participant go after being signed out?

Once signed out, if the participant is no longer enrolled in any other courses, they will automatically be moved to the *Inactive* participants list.

## To view the list of inactive participants:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Go to the Participants tab**

Open the *Participants* tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click Active**

In the top left corner, click the *Active* button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select Inactive**

From the dropdown menu, select *Inactive* — you will see a list of participants not enrolled in any course.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The *Inactive* tab only appears when your account has **more than 50 participants**.
{% endhint %}
