It’s not unusual for a lecturer to cancel a class. Students secretly hope it happens sometimes but it becomes concerning when class cancellation becomes habitual.
But if for some reason, the lecture has been canceled, it’s always best to alert the students via email. Whether you’re a lecturer or a class representative who needs to send the cancellation email, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve created some templates to make the job easier. You simply need to copy and modify them for your purpose.
