# Learner cancellation

Should you need to cancel your booking for an event, you can do so via the **Cancel booking** link available on the [event page](/totara-20/docs/seminar-event-page).

You can cancel a booking for seminar events you have directly signed up for, or those events a manager, Trainer, or Site Administrator have signed you up to on your behalf.

When cancelling, as a participant you will be asked to provide a **Cancellation reason** and enter in details for any **Custom fields** that have been added to the **User Cancellation** form.

You will receive a confirmation of your cancellation via email and your manager will be notified by email and/or via their **Alerts** block within their **Dashboard**.

> [!WARNING]
> Note: When a booking for an event is cancelled, that booking will be excluded from **My past bookings** via the [**My Learning**](/totara-20/docs/available-blocks) block from your Dashboard.
