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