How to decline ASU

[MissEverdeen]

Hi,

I got an offer from Arizona State University for the MS in Mech program, but I am planning to take up a different offer. How do I inform them that I wish to decline the offer? I wasn't able to find any page where I had to accept/decline, or pay any kind of deposit. I am already receiving e-mails to register for courses. 

Should I mail the graduate department to inform them of my decision? 

Thanks!

Email the Director of Graduate Studies for the department.

When I declined offers, I emailed the DGS of the programs I was accepted to and wrote something like, " I am grateful to have received admission into ______ university's graduate program in _____ for Fall 2016. After much thought, I regret to inform you that I will not be accepting this offer. Please let me know if you have any questions."

I recommend sending an email that doesn't make it look like you hired an HR Director.
