Updated on

This article explains how you can unregister for courses in uSis and how you can unpin your courses in Brightspace.

If you want to unregister from a course, or if you want to remove a course from your Brightspace, you will have to do this via uSis. As soon as you have unregistered in uSis for the course in question, you will be automatically removed from the course in Brightspace.
