Swap. Swap allows you to drop one class and add another simultaneously. The change could be immediate or, if you are waitlisted in one class, it can occur when you move off the waitlist. Swaps can only be done between primary sections (like lectures or seminars) that you are enrolled in.
Cancel Swap. The only way to fully cancel a delayed swap request is to drop the waitlisted class and re-add back onto the waitlist. Yes, your waitlist position will be lower, but it is the only way to fully cancel the swap request.
Once a swap is requested, it cannot be easily cancelled . There are three scenarios for changes you may wish to make to a delayed swap once it has been requested.
