SIS/Building Your Schedule of Classes - Deleting vs. Canceling Sections
This document outlines the differences between deleting and canceling a class section.
Deleting sections vs canceling sections and appropriate use cases
Delete a class section when:
Schedule of Classes has not been released. A class section should only be deleted if the Schedule of Classes for that term has not been released yet in Course Search & Enroll.
Cancel a class section when:
Schedule of Classes has been released. Canceling a section after Schedule of Classes for that term has been released and appears in Course Search & Enroll will ensure students receive correct information in the enrollment system.
Never delete a section after the Schedule of Classes has been released; doing so will remove the class number, resulting in errors for enrollment and student confusion.
Important: You will have to work with Curricular Services to cancel a section with enrollment.
