Settings → Signing up → How many seats controls how many students can join the class. The saved row reads like this: 24 seats · 18 taken · 6 open

​
Setting the number

Click Edit. Use the − and + buttons, or type the number. Taken means enrolled students plus invited people who have not accepted yet. An invite holds a seat.
You cannot set the seat count below the number already taken. If 18 seats are taken, 18 is the lowest you can go. To go lower, cancel an invite or unenroll a student first.
The most seats a class can have is 500.

​
Seats held by “must pay before enrolling” invites

An invite that requires payment first holds its seat only until the hold date you set when you sent it. If the money never arrives, we cancel the invite and give the seat back on our own, once a day. You do not have to watch for it. The hold never runs past the class start date. See Students and invites.

​
Running with no limit

A class can have no seat limit at all. Then anyone can sign up until the class starts, or until the last day to sign up.
  • To remove a limit, open the row and click Remove the limit.
  • To add one back, click Set a limit.
With no limit, the class never turns Full on its own, because there is no last seat to fill.

​
What happens when the last seat fills

The class turns Full by itself. Anyone else who tries to enroll can join the waitlist instead. You do not need to watch for this or do anything.

​
Stop new sign-ups

Sometimes you want to close a class early. Maybe the room is smaller than you planned, or you decided 12 students is enough. Open the How many seats row and scroll past the Save button. You will see Stop new sign-ups. Click Stop sign-ups at 12 (or whatever your current number is) and three things happen:
  1. The seat count is set to exactly what is already taken.
  2. The class turns Full.
  3. Anyone else who tries to enroll can join the waitlist.
Everyone already enrolled or invited keeps their seat.
This button saves on its own. The Save button above it is only for the seat count.

​
One thing to watch

If the class is Getting ready or on a Pre-enrollment waitlist, stopping sign-ups opens it first, then marks it Full. Opening a class puts it on your website. The page warns you before you click.

​
Example

You planned an EMT refresher for 30 students. Twelve signed up, and the training room you booked only fits 12 anyway.
  1. Open the class → Settings → Signing up.
  2. Open How many seats.
  3. Click Stop sign-ups at 12.
The class now shows Full. The twelve students keep their seats. Number thirteen lands on the waitlist, so you have a list to call from if someone drops.
