How Open Enrollment Classes work
Open Enrollment requires clients to enroll in a fixed quantity of classes but allows them to begin at any time. For example, you may offer a 6 week program with 1 class session each week, totaling to 6 classes. In a traditional series class, clients would need to book and start from class 1.
Example: Client A enrolls in a Series Class and must book themselves in the first class of the series. They complete the Series class by sequentially taking classes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
However, with open enrollment, clients can start at any point as long as 6 consecutive, sequential classes are completed.
Example: Client B enrolls in an Open Enrollment Class and may begin taking their six courses at any point in the course. Client B signs up the 3rd week and enrolls into class 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2. Graduation occurs when all the classes of the program are complete.
How to enable Open Enrollment for Classes
To have a class be Open Enrollment, you must do so while creating or editing the class. In doing either, tap “Class type” to begin. Tap on “Open Enrollment”.
Tap on “Number of classes” to dictate how many classes you wish to have in each cycle.
If you wish for your class to have a fixed schedule, tap on “Schedule” to begin. If your class has a consistent weekly schedule, tap “Add multiple lessons”.
Here you may customize the details of each class period. Set the duration of each class by tapping on “Duration”. Set the day of the first class by tapping on “Start date”.
To specify the days that this class meets, tap on “Repeat every” to specify the interval of times that this class is offered. Tap on “Days of week” to set the days of the week that this class meets.
Tap “Number of lessons” to specify how many class periods are included in a single cycle. Tap “Done” when you are finished.
If you wish to add more times for your lessons, tap “Schedule” again. Complete the rest of the class details as you normally would.
