Declining Schools

Hello all! This is kind of a stupid question, but if we’re applying to undergrad schools, do we need to decline offers/let schools know we won’t be attending?

Thanks!

We had to for ED but I don’t think it matters for others. Could certainly do it out of courtesy but I’m guessing if they haven’t heard from you by the deadline they will assume you are coming.

While the college will assume you are not attending if you do not deposit, declining an offer is common courtesy.

Thanks for the replies! I wasn’t sure if declining for courtesy was a thing for undergrad. How do I do that? On my portals there’s only the SIR option.

Some have decline options but if not just email admissions.
