Can I retract my early action application and apply regular instead?

I recently applied to the University of Michigan early action, but I applied super last minute and my essays are awful. I chose to apply early action because I thought it would boost my chances of getting in, but now that I think about it I think I would have a better shot at getting in if I waited for regular decision and applied with better essays. I am also retaking the ACT so hopefully by then I will have a higher score. I regret applying early and I want to apply regular decision, but will Michigan allow me to retract the application I have already sent in and reapply in February in the regular decision pool?
