Deleting Sections vs. Canceling Sections and Appropriate Use Cases

Delete a class section when:

• The 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. 
  • Note: At any time during Initial Call or Final Call for a given term, class sections should always be deleted if a department does not intend to offer the section.

Cancel a class section when: 

• The Schedule of Classes has been released. Canceling a section after the 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.
