Hello,
Are there any institutions out there who currently offer online registration for classes where there are pre-defined:
We are looking to move into a fully capable online version of our current registration protocol, but are unsure of how to navigate these two very important aspects of our current procedures.
We need to ensure that students are not permitted into the wrong level or into classes for which they do not have the required pre-requisite when they register. We also currently offer several payment plan options which we will also need to set up with an online selling feature.
Thanks,
Karin
Hi Karin,
Yes, Boston Ballet does both of these. Please feel free to reach out to me via email (mdonnelly@bostonballet.org) or if you are at TLCC2018 I would be happy to grab some time to chat if you’d like!
best,
Michaela
Sounds good, just send me a meeting request or a time and place and we can meet up! Cheers,

Hi Karin! A couple of TLCC sessions that will touch on these topics: Managing Classes and Camp Rosters on Monday at 10:45 and Academy and Schools Best Practices on Tuesday at 10:45. Hope you can make it to those sessions, as I expect those presenters will be able to give you some ideas as well.

The Groundlings does all of the above as well. If you look at our website at the class registration page, you can see how some of those things operate on our site (purchase.groundlings.com/.../auxlisting.aspx). We'll be at the two sessions Kelly mentioned and I'm happy to answer questions anytime if you'd like :). carrie@groundlings.com
The waitlist button adds folks to a custom tab in the event they're waiting for, and though it's not time-stamped, it populates in order of who signs up first (so the person on the top of the list was first, bottom of the list was last) so we can tell if needed. Our waitlists are designed to trigger an automatic email to everyone on the list when a spot opens up in the class, and they can then sign up on a first-come, first-serve basis.
With pre-reqs, I'll give you the nutshell explanation... We control ours through a combo of Constituency, Mode of Sale, and Ranking. First, we created MOSs for each level in our school. Then we assigned Ranks to the MOSs in order of the highest level class to the lowest. Then we created Constituencies (with the same names as each MOS) and entered the rank of the class. Students get constituencies added to their account as they progress through the school. When they sign in, the constituency matches to the rank, which matches to the MOS, and triggers the MOS to change. In the class event, we just expire all the MOSs that are not eligible for the class, so only those in the right MOS can buy classes with prereq's. I'll have screenshots at the sessions!
(Forgot to mention--I talk the most about waitlists & prereq's at the Academy & Best Practices session. I just touch on them for the Rosters one)
Hello Karin,
The Science Museum of MN has age pre-requisites for camps and we use keywords in performance set up to set age restrictions so parents can't sign a child up online if they are not the correct age for the camp. I will also be at TLCC and at the Managing Classes and Camp Rosters session.
