Setting Registration Windows for Group Lessons

This article explains how to control when students can register for a group lesson by setting open and close times.

What is a registration window?

By default, students can book a group lesson any time there are spots available. A registration window lets you restrict when booking is open — for example, opening registration a week before the session and closing it 24 hours before.

This is useful for:

  • Camps and clinics where you need to finalize the participant list in advance.

  • Popular sessions where you want to open registration at a specific time so everyone has a fair chance.

  • Planning purposes where you need to lock in attendance before the day of the session.


How to set a registration window

  1. Go to the Lessons tab and tap on a group session.

  2. On the session detail page, find the Registration Window card.

  3. Set one or both fields:

    • Opens At — the date and time when students can start registering.

    • Closes At — the date and time when registration stops.

  4. Tap Save.

Both fields are optional. You can set just an open time, just a close time, or both.


What students see

Before registration opens

  • The session is visible on the booking page with all its details (title, location, dates, pricing).

  • Booking buttons are disabled.

  • A message shows: "Registration opens on [date and time]."

While registration is open

  • Normal booking flow — students can book spots as usual.

After registration closes

  • The session is still visible and shows who's enrolled.

  • Booking buttons are disabled.

  • A message shows: "Registration is closed."

  • Students who already booked are not affected.


Registration status badge

The Registration Window card shows a live status badge so you can see the current state at a glance:

Closed (red)

Registration has ended


Good to know

  • Times are entered in your local timezone and stored automatically.

  • If you set both an open and close time, the open time must be before the close time.

  • Instructors can always manage students regardless of the registration window. You can add or remove students even when registration is closed.

  • The registration window only prevents new bookings. It doesn't cancel existing ones.

  • The waitlist follows the same rules — students can't join the waitlist outside the registration window.

  • If a student has the booking page open when registration closes, the system will show an error message if they try to submit.
