I believe the answer is:

neglects

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ignores' is the definition.
('neglect' can be a synonym of 'ignore')

'info about cancelled services round college' is the wordplay.
'info' becomes 'gen' (gen is a kind of info).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'cancelled services' becomes 'lets' (let is a kind of service. I am not sure about the 'cancelled' bit.**).
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'college' becomes 'c'.
'gen' in reverse letter order is 'neg'.
'lets' going around 'c' is 'lects'.
'neg'+'lects'='NEGLECTS'

Can you help me to learn more?
