To open enrollment, you will need a Program with a Class inside of it with a Capacity of at least one.
While creating Classes is easy to do, there are some nuances to the options that you should be aware of. The table below demonstrates how some settings are inherited from the Program or need to be set within the Class directly, depending on the Enrollment Model you've selected for a given Program.
Classes In Programs of this Enrollment Model | Capacity | Start & End Time | Start & End Dates + Holidays | Pricing |
Simple | Set in the Class | Set in the Class | Inherit from Program | Inherit from the Program |
Days per Week | Set in the Class | Set in the Class | Inherit from Program | Inherit from the Program |
Classes | Set in the Class | Set in the Class | Set in the Class | Inherit from the Program OR Set in the Class |
Additionally, there are two types of Classes and additional settings you'll want to be aware of.
Single Class: a unique Class that meets however many times you set on the calendar. When people enroll in this Class, they are expected to attend on every date the Class meets.
Series: a unique Class that meets once on each date set on the calendar. When people enroll in this Class, they are expected to attend only on those dates they select.
You can choose your Class Type only when you set days/dates when the Class occurs under Step 4 - "When Class Happens."
To create a Class, follow these steps.

Step 3 - Class Details
