Add review notes and save each review. Saved reviews remain in the history; the workspace resumes at the next unfinished review.| Step | What to do |
| - | - |
| **Courses & final grades** | Resolve every active course. Choose **Assign final grade & complete** to preserve a transcript record, or **Remove enrollment** to delete that enrollment record. A final score is optional; the letter must be allowed by the school grading standards. |
| **Roster membership** | Keep the rosters that should remain checked. Uncheck others and click **Save roster choices**. A retained roster can enroll the member in linked courses during later roster updates. |
| **Roles & access** | Choose the roles to keep and click **Save roles**. At least one role is required. Use the final account step if basic Member access should also stop. |
| **Subscriptions** | Review subscriptions paid by or assigned to the member. Open **Manage** to change products, quantities, discounts, payment settings, or cancellation. Shared payments may appear for both payer and learner. |
| **Billing & refunds** | Review the member's billing and each linked parent's billing. Check outstanding invoices and eligible refunds. Shared family charges can appear more than once; refund a charge only once. |
| **Account decision** | Choose to keep, deactivate, or permanently delete the account. Read and satisfy the displayed confirmation before saving the decision. |An unavailable billing service is not evidence that there is no balance. Resolve load errors before marking a review complete. If the school has no connected Stripe account, record any external billing arrangements in the notes.![Northstar demo: Off-boarding review — Courses & final grades](https://mintcdn.com/deandesk/Ib88bqpYdQ7_QHTP/images/dashboard/school/offboarding-offboardingid--courses-final-grades.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=Ib88bqpYdQ7_QHTP\&q=85\&s=2b578694880dfb890936363cad79c2e6)Northstar demo — Off-boarding review — Courses & final grades[Open full-size screenshot](/images/dashboard/school/offboarding-offboardingid--courses-final-grades.jpg)## Complete, cancel, or resumeAfter all six steps have been reviewed for every person, inspect the summary and choose **Complete off-boarding**.
