Every class can have a last day to sign up. After it passes, no new students can join. Set it at Settings → Signing up → Last day to sign up.

​
Quick picks

Open the row and you get buttons for the most common answers: Or pick your own date, and optionally a closing time.

​
Date, time, and timezone

  • Date with no time — sign-ups stay open through the whole day. A May 1 deadline closes at the end of May 1.
  • Date with a time — sign-ups close at that exact moment. May 1 at 5:00 PM closes at 5:00 PM.
  • No deadline at all — sign-ups close when the first class meets. If the class has no dates on the calendar yet, they close at the end of the night before the start date.
Times use the class’s local timezone — the timezone of its location. A New York class closing “May 1 at 5:00 PM” closes at 5:00 PM Eastern. A Los Angeles class closes at 5:00 PM Pacific, three hours later in real time. If a class has no location timezone set, Eastern Time is used.
The row and the preview both show the deadline in plain words, so you can read back exactly what you set before you save.

​
What closes when the deadline passes

  • Paid checkout
  • Free enrollment
  • Application form submissions — and the form page itself shows an “applications closed” screen
The apply button disappears from the class’s public page.

​
What keeps working

Everyone already enrolled keeps everything: the class, the materials, the schedule, and their dashboard. Payments, payment plans, applications already submitted, and invite links all keep working. Only new sign-ups stop.

​
The deadline can turn a class Full

When the deadline passes, the class status changes to Full on its own — even if seats are still open. That surprises people. If a class shows Full and you know it is not, check the deadline first. See Status and who can find it. To reopen it: set the status back to Getting ready, change or clear the deadline, then set it to Open.

​
Example

Your BLS class starts Saturday at 8:00 AM. You need the roster locked Friday afternoon so you can print rosters and count books.
  1. Open the class → Settings → Signing up.
  2. Open Last day to sign up.
  3. Pick the date Friday, and set the closing time to 3:00 PM.
  4. Save.
The preview reads: Sign-ups close Friday at 3:00 PM, the class’s local time. At 3:01 PM the apply button is gone and the class shows Full.

​
Early sign-up price is a different thing

A class can also have an early sign-up price — a discount for people who sign up before a date. That is a price, not a cutoff. Sign-ups keep going after it passes; they just cost more. The early deadline has to be at least one day before the last day to sign up. See Class settings.
