This article explains how a System Administrator deletes programs and organizations within System Administration, and details the validation checks that occur during the deletion process.
Overview
System Administrators manage the deletion of programs and organizations within System Administration. When an administrator attempts a deletion, a validation check determines if there is associated data.
- No associated data: System Administration confirms and completes the deletion immediately.
- Associated data present: The system requires the administrator to complete a waiver acknowledging the permanent removal of linked elements.
Deleting a program permanently removes all of the following associated data within Planning & Self Study:
- Mission statements
- Courses aligned to the program
- Assessment Leads associated with the program (Reviewers will lose access to previously aligned plan reviews)
- Outcomes (Learning, Success, and Archived) associated with the program, including their related measures and results
- Strategic Plans
- Assessment Plans
- Program Reviews
Crucial Note: Reversing a program deletion is not possible.
This example shows an administrator deleting a program in System Administration. Because the system found associated product data, the administrator must check the acknowledgment boxes regarding data deletion to complete the hard delete.
Steps to Delete Programs or Organizations
- Access System Administration.
- Click Organizations or Programs, depending on the asset type slated for deletion.
- Locate and select the specific Program or Organization.
- Navigate to the bottom of the page and select either Delete Program or Delete Organization.
Note: System Administration locks organizations with associated core data (such as programs, courses, people, or child organizations). Administrators cannot delete these organizations until they delete or reassign all associated data to another organization.
