SLOP1954 / HOW TO LEAVESemester 2 2026

THE COURSE / SLOP UNIVERSITY

Leaving is a skill.

A practical course for everyday subscribers. Find the biller, read the commitment, follow the right cancellation route and keep proof of the result. No coding required.

Who this is for

You use apps, memberships or free trials, and want a reliable way to decide what to keep and how to leave. You need a browser and a way to take notes. You do not need to code or know consumer-law terminology.

What you will be able to do

  1. Identify recurring services, their billers and the purchasing accounts.
  2. Read payment frequency, commitment and cancellation conditions separately.
  3. Find a relevant official route and recognise when its conditions do not match your purchase.
  4. Verify the result, preserve a useful record and explain an unresolved problem.

How the weeks fit together

The first three weeks build the method. Five case lessons apply it to Apple, Google Play, Adobe and Netflix. The final four weeks cover offers, confirmation and support, before an unfamiliar-case practical.

A lecture introduces the question. A workshop turns it into an annotated record or an explanation. Three assessments gather those outputs into an inventory, a field guide and a completed case.

The point of view

Being able to leave is part of being able to choose. Speed is useful, but a fast click on the wrong plan is not success. We ask whether the result matches your intention and whether you can show that it happened.

Examples have dates and sources. A historical dispute, a current help article and a fictional teaching screen serve different jobs, and are labelled accordingly.
