<p>Hi. I got accepted into UIUC, but I was too late to decline their offer (they don't allow me to choose to decline). I then send the admissions office an email recently. Is that okay enough to say that I decline the offer? I really need some help. Otherwise I have to call them. Thank you!</p>
<p>had the same exact problem last year as i forgot to decline the offer. you should be fine as long as you send them a notification via email</p>
<p>That should be sufficient. And thank you for being courteous enough to decline!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they didn’t reply. Did that happen to you too?</p>
<p>if you didn’t they would assume that you will not go, but for those reading, do decline early if you know you will not attend</p>
