# Cancel an order

Orders may also be canceled during the ordering workflow and after an order has been placed. When you cancel an order, the content items ordered will no longer be delivered to your students.

{% hint style="info" %}

* Placed orders may only be canceled during an open Ordering period unless the user is a **Program Administrator**. If an order must be canceled after an Ordering period is closed, please reach out to your institution's **Program Administrator(s)** for assistance.
* Orders may **only be canceled** by the user who placed the order or by a **Coordinator** with suitable permissions. **Program Administrators** can cancel any and all orders ever created.
  {% endhint %}

## Cancel a placed order <a href="#cancelanorder-cancelaplacedorder" id="cancelanorder-cancelaplacedorder"></a>

To cancel a placed order, identify the course for which the order was placed from the Courses screen. You will first view the order and then cancel it.

**Instructors** will see presented courses they're assigned to teach for an upcoming academic term. Identify the course for which the order has been placed and click the order number link.

**Coordinators** and **Program Administrators** will see presented the instructors and courses on whose behalf they may submit content orders. Identify the instructor and course offering for which the order was placed and click the order number link.

Clicking the order number will present an Order summary screen summarizing information about the order. At the top right of the Order summary screen will be a "Cancel Order" button.

{% hint style="info" %}
This button is only available if the user viewing the Order is the same as the user who placed the Order.
{% endhint %}

Click "Cancel Order" to cancel the placed order. You will be asked to confirm your action. A prompt will appear at the top of the screen to confirm that your order was canceled.

You will also receive an email receipt, notifying you of the canceled order. This email will include order details such as the Course, Term, Section, Session, and the Digital Course Materials that were on the order.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://resources.unizin.org/products/content/unizin-order-tool/courses-and-ordering/cancel-an-order.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
