Quick answer

  3. Click Unenroll again to confirm.

No Unenroll option? Your school has turned it off, or the class is archived. Ask your teacher to remove you.

Teachers: removing a student

Questions teachers ask

What happens to my work if I leave?

The class disappears from your Classroom. Your files stay in your Google Drive, but your grades in that class are removed, so check with your teacher first.

Can I rejoin later?

Yes, with the class code or a new invite from your teacher.

Why can't I leave an archived class?

Students can't unenroll from archived classes. Your teacher can restore the class or remove you.
