Handling Max Capacity & Waitlists

Modified on Thu, 14 May at 9:00 PM

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.

Setting Max Students

  1. Go to Classes and click + to create a new class, or ⋮ > Edit on an existing class.

  2. Find the Max Students field and enter the maximum number of students for this class.

  3. Click Save.

Once the class reaches its limit, the Enroll button on your public registration page is replaced with a "Class Full" message — no additional self-enrollment is possible unless you increase the limit or enable a waitlist.




Showing (or Hiding) Available Seat Count
By default, your registration page shows students how many seats remain. You can control this:

  1. In the class Create or Edit form, find the Show Available Seats Publicly toggle in the Listing Settings section.

  2. ON (default) — students see the remaining seat count (e.g., "2 of 10 seats remaining").

  3. OFF — students can still register but the remaining count is hidden. Useful for avoiding panic-registrations when seats are nearly full.

Enabling a Waitlist

  1. Open the class Create or Edit form.

  2. In the Listing Settings section (or Settings section), find the Allow Waitlist toggle and turn it ON.

  3. Click Save.

When the class is full and a waitlist is enabled, the registration page shows a "Join Waitlist" button. Students who join the waitlist are queued in order of sign-up.

Managing the Waitlist

  1. Go to Classes and find the class with an active waitlist.

  2. Click ⋮ > WaitList on the class row.

  3. You will see the waitlisted students in order, with their name, email, and position.

  4. To move a waitlisted student into the class:

  • Increase Max Students in the class edit form — CPR Enroll+ will notify the next student in the queue that a spot is available, or

  • Manually enroll them via Enrollments > + > Add Student and remove them from the waitlist.

✔  Increasing capacity mid-enrollment

If your venue can accommodate more students than originally planned, simply edit the class and increase Max Students. Waitlisted students are notified in the order they joined the waitlist.
