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.

It is important that sections be canceled by the appropriate deadline to ensure that students will have an opportunity to register for other courses. The deadlines by semester are:

    Canceling a Section

    Canceling a section is a two-step process. Departments are responsible for canceling the section in Banner, and the Office of the Registrar is responsible for dropping any enrolled students from the canceled section.

    Department Responsibilities:

    Registrar Responsibilities:

    • Drop all students from the section
    • Change section status from “C” (Cancel) to “X” (Registrar Cancel)
