Introduction

This guide will walk you through the steps on cancelling or deleting an event within Consent2Go. There are a few things to note before you begin this process:

• The difference between deleting & cancelling - Events are cancelled if the invitations have already been sent out, events are deleted if the event is not yet active, invitations haven't been sent, or the planning phase has not been completed.
• Deleting an event will remove it from the system completely. 
• Cancelling an event will not remove it from the system, instead it will appear on the events list with the date greyed out, and crossed through.
• If a student has been marked as attending, and the event is cancelled, an email notification will be automatically issued to the parent or guardian.
• Cancelled events remain in the calendar in-case it needs to be reinstated or rescheduled.
