# Archive a Class

> Archive an active class in Pear Practice to retain student data while keeping your class list current.

Pear Practice stores classes in an archived state rather than deleting them, so year-over-year student data stays accessible after a semester or school year ends. Teachers can archive classes manually unless their district manages enrollment through a Student Information System (SIS) via an integration such as Clever, Canvas, or Schoology ,  in those cases, archiving must be done through the integration to keep rosters in sync.

<Note>
  If your district uses an active roster integration other than Google Classroom, archive the class through that integration rather than directly in Pear Practice.
</Note>

## Archive a Class

1. In Pear Practice, click **Manage Class** in the navigation menu.
2. Click the name of the class you want to archive.
3. Click **Actions** > **Archive Class**.
4. In the confirmation dialog, type **ARCHIVE** and click **Yes, Archive**.
5. The class moves out of your active class list and is now accessible under the **Archived Classes** dropdown.
