Sometimes the unexpected happens, and you must change or cancel a class after it has been announced. That's ok! Real life comes first.

Please use the following guidance for how to ensure your audience knows about the changes. ~~Generally speaking - please do not delete posts or calendar events - this leaves the audience unaware and searching for what they thought they saw before!~~

Please use the following guidance for how to ensure your audience knows about the changes.

=== Changing your Discord Event ===

* If you are cancelling your class, you may delete the Discord Event, but please notify people, especially ~~with less advance~~ notice

* If you are cancelling your class, you may delete the Discord Event, but please notify people, especially if it is short-notice

** If ~~the class has already been pinged~~ in #ping-class - consider ~~putting out another ping with the update~~

** If it is short-notice, ping it in #ping-class, consider finding a substitute as per [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Teaching_Classes_at_EVE_University#Pings:_cancelling_on_short_notice Short notice cancellation]

** With more advance notice, consider posting a 'silent' ping in #ping-class (without the @eveyone)

* If you need to cancel ~~'''~~a class in a repeating series~~'''~~ - cancel that specific class (it will show to viewers as Cancelled)

* If you need to cancel a class in a repeating series - cancel that specific class (it will show to viewers as Cancelled)

** You can do that by clicking the 'triple dot' menu next to the individual date in a series, rather than the whole overarching Event

* If you are rescheduling:

* If you are rescheduling your class:

** Edit the Discord Event time, consider including 'RESCHEDULED' in the Event name or description

** If the ~~class has already been pinged~~ in #ping-class ~~- consider putting out another ping with the update~~

** If it is short-notice, ping the changes in #ping-class

** With more advance notice, consider posting a 'silent' ping in #ping-class (without the @eveyone)

=== Changing your calendar event ===

* ~~Please do not delete the calendar event~~ - ~~students may have already put the class on their own personal~~ calendar.

* In-game calendar entries are entirely optional, but if you did create one, make sure you delete/reschedule it in line with your Discord Event

* If you are ~~canceling the class with no replacement time (or intend to reschedule later~~ but ~~do not have the rescheduled time right now ):~~

** Edit the calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[CANCELLED]"

* If you ~~are canceling the date and time originally announced - but rescheduling now:~~

** Edit the ORIGINAL calendar event to replace the "[CLASS]" tag with "[RESCHEDULED]"

** Create a new calendar event for the new class date and time, ~~following the guidance~~ in ~~the Scheduling Your Class section above.~~
