Setting Registration Deadlines

Modified on Thu, 14 May at 9:00 PM

Registration deadlines automatically close enrollment for a class a set number of days before it starts. This gives you time to finalize headcount, prepare materials, and brief your instructor before class day. CPR Enroll+ supports deadlines at both the course level (applies to all classes from that course) and the class level (overrides the course setting for a specific session).

Option 1 — Course-Level Deadline (Applies to All Classes)

Go to Administration > Course Builder > Courses.
Click ⋮ > Edit on the course.
Scroll to the Rules section.
In the Close Registration field, enter the number of days before class start that registration should close. For example, 2 = registration closes 48 hours before the class.
Click Save. This deadline applies to every class scheduled from this course unless overridden at the class level.

Option 2 — Class-Level Deadline (Overrides Course Setting)

Go to Classes and click ⋮ > Edit on the specific class.
In the Listing Settings section, find the Registration Closes field.
Enter the number of days before this class starts that registration should close.
Click Save. This setting overrides the course-level deadline for this session only.

ℹ What students see after registration closes

After the deadline passes, the class still appears on your registration page but the Enroll button is replaced with a "Registration Closed" message. Students cannot self-register, but an admin can still manually enroll students via the Enrollments section.

Setting a Minimum Enrollment to Start a Class

You can also require a minimum number of enrolled students before a class runs. If the minimum is not reached by the registration deadline, you can cancel the class and notify enrolled students.

In the course Edit form, find the Minimum Enrollments To Start Class field in the Rules section.
Enter the minimum headcount required.
Monitor enrollment numbers in the Classes list (Enrolled column shows current count vs. max).
If the minimum is not met, use ⋮ > Cancel Class — CPR Enroll+ automatically emails all enrolled students with a cancellation notification.

Automated Reminder Notifications

In the same Rules section of the course, you can configure two automated reminder emails:

1st Reminder — enter the number of days before class to send the first reminder email
2nd Reminder — enter the number of days before class to send a second reminder (optional)

Who receives reminders is configured in Settings > Notifications > Class Reminders.
