| Out of the few portals, only one had a clear one. I think it's possible we are not looking in the right spot but I can't find other buttons! Is that typical?! |

| We found a decline button for one college after clicking on enroll button. There was an option decline or accept after we clicked on enroll. Other colleges had accept and decline buttons easily accessible from the dashboard. |

| Email if you know you are declining the spot, please! One person‘s rejected spot is another person‘s happy surprise acceptance from the waitlist. Especially if there is merit aid or other perks attached. |
