Synonym for cancel
Hello,
Is there any good synonym for the word cancel?
For example, the university plans to cancel the publications class. Can I say, annul, eliminate ? I use '' cancellation'' as a noun, but I need a verb?
Thank you in advance.

When you paraphrase, you have to use a synonym. I think suspend is the best option. Thanks a million.
