# Forcing a Learning Plan Re-calculation

If you or a learner notice that a learner’s learning plan status has not been recalculated, you’ll need to force the recalculation.

The steps that you take will depend on how the learning plan was assigned to the learner:

- [The learning plan was manually assigned to the learner.](/v1/docs/forcing-a-learning-plan-re-calculation#forcing-recalculation-for-manually-assigned-learning-plan)
- [The learning plan was automatically assigned to the learner through one of their groups](/v1/docs/forcing-a-learning-plan-re-calculation#forcing-recalculation-for-groupassigned-learning-plan).

After completing the steps below, it may take up to 20 minutes for the recalculation to complete. If you notice that the Status column in the Certifications Dashboard shows, *Met (Processing)* or *Not Met (Processing)*, this indicates that SmarterU is recalculating the status to reflect the change you made.

## Forcing Recalculation for Manually Assigned Learning Plan

To force a learning plan recalculation for a learner who was [manually assigned the learning plan](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/assigning-learning-plans-to-a-user#assigning-learning-plans-using-the-users-dashboard):

1. [Edit the learner's user profile](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/editing-a-user-manually).
2. [Remove the learning plan from the learner](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/unassigning-learning-plans-from-a-user#unassigning-learning-plans-assigned-to-a-specific-user).

1. Click **Save**.
2. [Re-assign the learning plan to the learner](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/assigning-learning-plans-to-a-user#assigning-learning-plans-using-the-users-dashboard).
3. Click **Save**.

## Forcing Recalculation for Group-Assigned Learning Plan

If a group's users are automatically assigned a learning plan, removing the learning plan from the group will cause course enrollments from the learning plan to be queued for unenrollment. You can [pause the unenrollment queue](/v1/docs/pausing-the-unenrollments-queue) to view the pending unenrollments.

To force a learning plan recalculation for a learner who was [assigned a learning plan through one of their groups](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/assigning-learning-plans-to-a-user#assigning-learning-plans-using-the-groups-dashboard):

1. [Edit the learner’s user profile](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/editing-a-user-manually).
2. If the learner belongs to more than one group, continue to the next step. If the learner only belongs to one group, [create a new temporary group](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/adding-a-group) and [assign that group to the learner](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/user-group-permissions#assigning-a-user-to-a-group).
3. Remove the group that automatically assigned the learner plan from the learner.

1. Click **Save**.
2. [Re-assign the group](https://support.smarteru.com/docs/user-group-permissions#assigning-a-user-to-a-group) that automatically assigned the learning plan to the learner. If the group was the learner’s [home group](/v1/docs/home-groups), be sure to select it as their home group.
3. Remove the temporary group from the learner. This is the temporary group you created in step 2.
4. Click **Save**.
