Section Cancellation Requests
Section Cancellation requests are necessary to cancel an enrolled section due to low enrollment or extenuating circumstances. If a section with no enrollment needs to be canceled, a section cancellation form is not needed and the department should cancel the section in Banner.

students will have an opportunity to register for other courses. The 2023-2024 academic
