Handling Max Capacity & Waitlists
Every class in CPR Enroll+ has a maximum student capacity. When a class fills up, you can either turn away additional students or enable a waitlist so interested students are automatically notified if a spot opens. This guide covers both options and explains how to monitor and manage class fill rates.
Before You Begin
- Know the maximum number of students your venue or instructor can accommodate.
- Decide whether you want to hide the remaining seat count from students on your registration page.
- Decide whether you want to enable a waitlist for classes that are likely to fill up.
- to reduce panic-registrations near the deadline.
- When increasing Max Students on a full class, let CPR Enroll+ handle waitlist notifications automatically rather than manually enrolling students out of order.
- Check the waitlist regularly in the days leading up to class so you can fill last-minute cancellations.
Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens when a class reaches Max Students? | The Enroll button is replaced with a "Class Full" message, and no additional self-enrollment is possible unless you increase the limit or enable a waitlist. |
| Can I hide the remaining seat count from students? | Yes. Turn off the Show Available Seats Publicly toggle in the Listing Settings section; students can still register, but the count stays hidden. |
| How are waitlisted students notified when a spot opens? | If you increase Max Students, CPR Enroll+ automatically notifies the next student in the queue in the order they joined the waitlist. |
✔ You're all set. Your class capacity is configured, and students who can't get a seat right away will be notified the moment one opens up.
