## Editing a Student

Click any student's name to open their profile. You can update all fields including batch, fee, and contact details.

## Transferring a Student

To move a student to a different batch, open their profile and change the **Batch** field. Their payment history stays intact.

## Moving to Alumni

When a student completes their course:

1. Open the student's profile
2. Click **Mark as Alumni**

<Warning>
  Once marked as alumni, the student will no longer appear in attendance, fees, marks, or the dashboard. This action is for students who have **completed** their course — not for students taking a break.
</Warning>

## Deleting a Student

Deleting permanently removes the student record. Only do this for test/accidental entries.

<Note>
  Deleted students cannot be recovered. Use **Alumni** for genuine graduates.
</Note>

## Searching & Filtering

Use the search bar to find students by name or phone. Filter by:

* Batch
* Fee status (paid / partial / unpaid)
* Attendance status
