Self-Removal from Waitlist

How to remove yourself from a waitlist if you no longer need a spot.

If your plans have changed and you no longer need to be on the waitlist, you may be able to remove yourself directly from your status page.

Checking If Self-Removal Is Available

Not all organizations enable self-removal. To check:

  1. Open your status link (from your welcome email)
  2. Look for a Remove from Waitlist button at the bottom of your entry card
  3. If you don’t see it, contact the organization to request removal

Remove from Waitlist

Are you sure you want to be removed from the waitlist? This action cannot be undone.

Select a reason

Important: Removal is permanent. You would need to sign up again if you change your mind, and your previous position is not reserved.

After Removal

Once you’ve been removed:

  • Your position is released and others on the waitlist may move up
  • Your status page will show that you’re no longer on the waitlist
  • The Remove from Waitlist button will no longer appear

If Self-Removal Isn’t Available

If you don’t see the removal button, the organization hasn’t enabled this option. Contact them directly to request removal — check previous emails from them for their contact information.

Rejoining the Waitlist

If you change your mind after withdrawing:

  • You’ll need to sign up again
  • You’ll receive a new position based on when you rejoin
  • Your previous position is not reserved

Tip: If you're unsure about leaving, consider contacting the organization first. They may be able to answer questions that help you decide.
