Dropping a student into a bucket enrolls them in that course, and moving them out unenrolls them. There is no separate save step.Removing an enrollment can affect the learner's academic history. For a departure where a final grade should be retained, use [Off-boarding](/sis/offboarding.md).![Northstar demo: Bulk Enrollment — Distribution](https://mintcdn.com/deandesk/w4Aa5fKkcT4IMz-4/images/dashboard/school/bulk-enrollment--distribution.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=w4Aa5fKkcT4IMz-4\&q=85\&s=30006a079c35695743b1f2c6cf0451cc)Northstar demo — Bulk Enrollment — Distribution[Open full-size screenshot](/images/dashboard/school/bulk-enrollment--distribution.jpg)## Related views**User Management → Course Enrollments** searches and exports enrollment records across courses.
