# Leaving a course

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Outcome**</mark>\
You remove yourself from a course on Nuvolos while preserving your Instance and work.

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Before you start**</mark>

* You have clarified the disenrolment policy with your instructor and institution.
* You understand that leaving the course removes your roles in the course but does not delete your Instance or its data.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Nuvolos is not currently linked to any institutional administrative systems. If you need to formally disenroll from the course at your institution, you must take those steps separately. Nuvolos support cannot guide you on institutional procedures.
{% endhint %}

#### Remove yourself from the course

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the course Space from the Dashboard.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the info button next to the course name.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click Leave Course.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Leaving removes your viewer and editor roles in the course. Your Instance is preserved in case you change your mind, or in case your institution requires retention of your work.
