At Cialfo, we do not provide the option to delete a student account; however, we allow you to deactivate a student's account if it is no longer in use. This will allow you to preserve their data i.e. application history for future references as well as populating your school's Scattergrams.
Additionally, if a student’s email needs to be updated or revised, alternative options can be utilized, including providing the student with a new email address for future communication or creating a new account with the updated information. These practices ensure smooth account management without requiring deletion.
How to deactivate a student?
Authorized school counselors are the only ones who can perform this action, ensuring compliance with user account policies.
To deactivate, search for the student under the Deactivated tab. Then, click on the (i) beside that student's name in the Student List. This will open up a sidebar on the right. At the bottom of that sidebar, click on the Deactivate button.
Only authorized school counselors have the ability to perform deactivations within the Cialfo platform.

How to it in bulk?
To bulk active students, you may first download the list of students using the Student List and under the Active column, change it from FALSE → TRUE for those students that you would like to active. Once you have done so, simply upload the same file on the Uploader and the system will update these students from Deactivated to Activated.
