# Can I Block a Student from my Session?

### Overview

If you want to keep an individual student from participating in your Session, you can block them from the Teacher Dashboard(a [Premium](https://www.peardeck.com/pricing/comparison/) feature). When you block a student, they can no longer do the following:

\- Rejoin your Session with the same account, unless you unblock them

\- See or respond to any slides, whether Normal or Interactive, on the Student View

\- Receive a **Takeaway™** (a Premium feature, available to those who log in with a Google account)

#### Block a student from your Session

1\. Open the **Teacher Dashboard**.

2\. Go to the top right corner of the screen and click on the Session Roster button.

3\. Find the student, then click on the *More Actions* (three-dots) button next to their email address. Select *Block from Session*.
