# Archive a student placement

> Archive a student placement.

**Recommended usage:**
We recommend only archiving student placements that have a passed end date. When building syncs from external systems and a studentPlacement is removed, we recommend the following workflow:

1. Set the `endDate` to the date when the studentPlacement was removed from the external system
2. Wait approximately 5 days before archiving the student placement

This grace period allows time to correct any mistakes made by administrators in the external system before the placement is permanently archived.
