How Can I Change the Status from Student to Alumni?

Updated on June 10, 2025

2 min to read

Most of the time, when _Students_ graduate, they want to maintain a connection to their school. Therefore, it is useful for schools to hold an archive of graduated students, namely the alumni. A good alumni base can help your institution grow financially and build a reputation on the successes of its alumni. Classter has developed such a feature, to maintain the graduated student’s data in the platform.

Tip: You may use the Student Registration Statistics to derive various statistics concerning studentsโ€™ registration.

Let’s change a student status to alumni.

To change the student status to alumni, you need to be logged in as an Admin. From the main menu, go to _Students_โ†’Students list. (Figure 1)

In the next window, you want to view your _Students_ per year, as we usually talk about graduation years. To do so, from the โ€œViewโ€ dropdown list select โ€œStudents per yearโ€. (Figure 2)

Next, you can specify your graduation year, e.g. Year 6. (Figure 3)

From the _Student_ list that appears, you may select all students of this particular year or only those who have graduated. Then, from the โ€œActionsโ€ dropdown list go to โ€œChange Student Statusโ€. (Figure 4)

In the popup window, you can either change each studentโ€™s status or massively change all studentsโ€™ status.

  • To change each studentโ€™s status, from the โ€œRegistration Statusโ€ dropdown list, select Graduated. (Figure 5)

  • To massively change all studentsโ€™ status, you need to use the Bulk Actions. First you need to click on โ€œShowโ€ (Figure 6). From the โ€œStatusโ€ dropdown menu, click on Graduated (Figure 7). Finally, click on the button โ€œApply in all rowsโ€. (Figure 8)
