What makes Enrollsy such a flexible online enrollment solution? All the stretching we do. Kidding. But really, what makes Enrollsy such a flexible solution is that Enrollment Periods can be named anything you'd like. But that doesn't seem like that big of a deal. And you'd be right about that. What makes Enrollment Periods special is that each can contain a unique set of Program Options.

The scenarios below outline some of the most common Enrollment Periods, as well as the Programs and Classes inside them. Look at this Go Live Checklist to see a clearly defined list of all (or most) of the choices that impact enrollment.

Let's say I teach school-aged kids group basketball classes during the Summer. The classes all follow a similar structure regarding how the options are displayed during enrollment.

For example, Enrollees must select their respective grade or age grouping and establish a schedule and time preference. Making this distinction will not only guide the customer through the enrollment process in steps but also help you organize your classes, track capacities, and even price differently based on grade/age or schedule/time.

In this scenario, I would create an Enrollment Period, call it Group Classes, and build my Program Options like this:

Everything I do from this point forward to create Programs and Classes in this Enrollment Period will rely on these Program Options.

However, this is a problem because I also run a Summer League. The teams practice and compete in a tournament at the end of the Summer. During the school year, I also teach private lessons for skill development. These other Programs need entirely different Program Options. What should I do? Create another Enrollment Period!

My Summer Camps run all Summer long, but families often come and go with vacations and other commitments. At the end of the Summer, the tournament is part of the experience. Still, campers only have to pay for the days they register to attend, regardless of whether they attend or play in the tournament.

In this example, I would create an Enrollment Period, call it Summer Camp, and build my Program Options like this:

Because I need to let Enrollees pick the days of camp they wish to attend, this is all I need to present through Program Options. All other considerations are determined in the Program Settings and at the Class level. Let's look at that next.

To extend the enrollment experience beyond mere Program selection, I need to enable a different pricing model than what I used in Scenario 1: Enrollsy's Simple model. What I want to allow is the Classes model.

I also want to check the box allowing Enrollees to pick their Class(es). This will let them select the days they want to come, so we don't have to manually build rosters or calculate pricing after enrollment.

When Setting enrollment parameters, I will check the box that says "Require enrollment into a minimum or maximum number of Classes" and uncheck the box that says "Pricing is the same for each Class" to set some rules.

My rules for Summer Camp are as follows:
