The Students tab: who's enrolled & their lifecycle stage

The Students tab on a course lists everyone enrolled, each tagged with a lifecycle stage that tells you who's thriving and who's drifting — so you know who to nudge before they churn.

Last updated Jun 1, 2026

Open a course (View Details) and click the Students tab. It's the roster of people actually enrolled in this course — distinct from the Payment Links tab, which is about getting people to pay.

Before anyone enrols

A brand-new course shows an empty state: 'No students enrolled yet. When a student enrolls, they'll show up here with a lifecycle stage.' Send a payment link (Payment Links tab) to start filling it.

Once students enrol

  • Each row shows the student's name, email, a lifecycle-stage chip, and when they were last active ('Active today', 'Yesterday', 'Xd ago', or 'Never active').
  • Open takes you to the full student profile at /dashboard/students/<id>.

Lifecycle stages

  • Champion — top engagement and active in the last 7 days.
  • Active — some activity in the last 7 days.
  • Onboarding — enrolled less than 7 days ago.
  • Cooling — last active 7–14 days ago.
  • At risk — last active 15–29 days ago.
  • Churned — no activity for 30+ days.
Stages are computed from real signals (lesson completion, quiz attempts, attendance, days since last activity) — you don't set them. Use them as a worklist: reach Cooling and At-risk students before they become Churned.
