As chapter leader, you can cancel a pending membership awaiting your approval.
A canceled membership will be deleted and no longer exist for the selected membership year.
To disapprove or cancel a membership, the membership must not be past your authorization level. For example, a local chapter leader can change a membership type if the membership has not been approved at the state level (i.e., submission level status is either Local or State). A state leader can disapprove or cancel a membership if the membership has not been approved at the national level (i.e., submission level status is either Local, State or National). Once a membership has been nationally approved, only national FFA staff can disapprove or cancel a membership due to potential financial implications.
Memberships with a local submission level status can be canceled from either the Approve Pending Memberships or Manage Memberships sections. Memberships awaiting state or national approval can only be canceled or disapproved from the Manage Memberships section.
You will begin in the roster system under Approve Pending Memberships.
