Classes are not able to be deleted. This is in case any data needs to be restored later. To make a class inactive, follow these steps. 

Only schools that Self-Register can archive a class. You can only archive a class that has no assignments. 

1. From your dashboard, click “**Class Settings**.” ![How to Archive a Class 1](https://kb.simplesolutions.org/hs-fs/hubfs/How%20to%20Archive%20a%20Class/How%20to%20Archive%20a%20Class%201.png?width=670&height=150&name=How%20to%20Archive%20a%20Class%201.png)
2.
