Cancelling classes can be done as long as enrolled students are notified and instructed to drop the class, it is the student's responsibility to drop the class. A class cannot be cancelled until each enrolled student has dropped the class.
   2. Once the session has begun: Only minor adjustments, such as enrollment caps and instructors can be made. Inform our office if the need to cancel a class, or moving a meeting location arises.

Once Sarah has received the unit’s revisions, Sarah will make the changes in SIS and will reach out if any questions or issues arise.
