# Cancel a Coaching Session

> Cancel a booked coaching session and get your credits back

You can cancel any upcoming coaching session from its detail page. As long as you cancel under the 24-hour cancellation and reschedule policy, you'll get a full refund of the credits you used to book it.

<Info>
  Need to move the session to a different time instead of canceling it outright? The same three-dot menu has a **Reschedule** option - use that to keep your booking and just change the time.

## How to cancel a session

  <Step title="Click Cancel and confirm">
    A **Confirm cancellation?** dialog appears. It tells you whether the session is refundable and gives you an optional field to note why you're canceling.

  </Step>

  <Step title="(Optional) Add a reason">
    If you want to share context with your coach, type a short reason in the **Reason for canceling** field. Your coach can read this in the session record.

## Cancellation policy

Sessions follow a **24-hour cancellation and reschedule policy**: cancel at least 24 hours before the session starts and your credits are refunded automatically. The exact window is shown on the session detail page under **Cancellation and Reschedule Policy**.

* **More than 24 hours before the session** - your credits are refunded automatically when you cancel.
* **Less than 24 hours before the session** - the session is marked non-refundable, and the dialog will say so. You can still cancel, but credits aren't returned automatically. Reach out to your coach or to [hello@exec.com](mailto:hello@exec.com) if you need an exception.

***

## What happens after you cancel

Once the cancellation goes through:

* The session moves to your **Past Sessions** list with a **Session Canceled** tag and strikethrough styling.
* The session detail page shows a **This session is canceled** banner, your cancellation reason (if you provided one), and a **Schedule Session** button to book a new one with the same coach.
* Your coach is notified by email.
* If the session was refundable, your credits are returned to the account you booked from.

## If your coach cancels the session

Coaches can cancel sessions from their side too - for example, if something urgent comes up on their schedule. When that happens:

* You'll get an **email** letting you know the session was canceled, and a cancellation reason if your coach added one.
* The session moves to your **Past Sessions** list with the same **Session Canceled** label you'd see if you canceled it yourself.
* Your credits are refunded if the session was refundable. If it was canceled less than 24 hours before the session, your coach can still choose to refund you - most do.
* You can rebook anytime by clicking **Schedule Session** on the canceled session, or by going to **Coaching > Sessions** and starting a new booking.
