End Student Programs

End a student's program when the student no longer wants to study the program.

You can't end a program if the student has been awarded a credential for the program.

To end a program, use the Student Programs page in the Learners work area. From Student Central, click Search and search for Learners. Whether you take the end action at the program or academic group level depends on the particular student's program record. Keep in mind that a student must always have at least one main program for each academic group. Let's look at some scenarios using these assumptions:

A major is a main program and a minor isn't.
A college is an academic group.

Student's Programs	Program Action or Academic Group Action?
A French major and a German major in the College of Liberal Arts. Student wants to stop studying French.	Program action: For the French program, select End Major. The student still has one main program in the academic group.
A Biology major and a Chemistry minor in the College of Natural Sciences. Student wants to stop studying Chemistry.	Program action: For the Chemistry program, select End Minor. The student still has one main program in the academic group.
A Biology major and a Chemistry minor in the College of Natural Sciences. Student wants to withdraw from all study.	Academic group action: For College of Natural Sciences group, select Discontinue All.
A French major in the College of Liberal Arts. Student wants to stop studying French.	Academic group action: For the College of Liberal Arts group, select Discontinue All. The student must have at least one main program per academic group. Because the French major is the only program in the group, the action is available at the group level.
A Biology major and a Chemistry minor in the College of Natural Sciences. Student wants to stop studying Biology but keep studying Chemistry.	You can't end the Biology major because the student must have at least one main program per academic group. The student could request to switch from Biology to a different major (main program).
