Learner Un-Enrollment

Updated June 30, 2026 20:46

Absorb allows Users to unenroll themselves from Online Courses, Instructor Led Courses, or Curricula. System Administrators have the option to enable or disable this feature from the Portal Settings page under the Users tab.

The option to unenroll will appear to Users if the following is true:

They have self-enrolled into the training.
The User was not enrolled into the Course via Automatic Enrollment.
Their status is Not Started or In Progress.
The Course is not marked as Mandatory.
The Course was not purchased through E-Commerce.
The Course is not part of a Content Library (ie BizLibary, SkillSoft, LinkedIn, Amplify), and the User has not begun taking the Lessons.

Use the Enrollment History report to determine if a User has unenrolled from training. Once a User has been unenrolled from training, they will lose all related progress. As this setting is determined at the Portal Settings level, it is not possible to configure Learner Un-enrollment on a Course by Course level.

Instructor Led Course Learner Unenrollment

Canceling a Session does not automatically unenroll the User from the parent Course. After a User clicks View and clicks Cancel Session from the My Courses page, they remain enrolled in the Course itself. To fully unenroll, the User must then click the three-dot menu and click Unenroll from Course.

Unenrolling as a Learner

This section details the process of unenrolling from the perspective of a Learner. Please advise the following method:

The User navigates to the My Courses page and selects the training they would like to unenroll from.
From the Course Details page, the User will have a new icon that displays within the banner, on the top right-hand side next to the Share and Pin icons.
The User will receive a warning, Confirm Unenrollment, explaining if they unenroll, they will lose all progress. They will be prompted to select unenroll in order to confirm or they can select Cancel to go back to the Course Details page.

Deleting Enrollments

Note that any enrollments where the Learner unenrolled themselves cannot be deleted.
