Overview
The Event Enrollment Wizard provides a streamlined process for enrolling students into events and completing payment. Unlike the Class Enrollment Wizard, the Event Enrollment Wizard is event-specific and does not include filtering options when selecting an event.
Important notes:
- The Event Enrollment Wizard is used for event enrollments only.
- If a student needs to be enrolled in both a class and an event, each enrollment must be completed separately.
NOTE: If a student will be enrolled in both a class and an event, we recommend NOT collecting payment until both enrollments have been created to ensure that a single payment is made and only one transaction fee is charged. Staff can use the “Charge to Account” option from the Enrollment Wizard shopping cart to bypass the payment process.
Accessing the Feature
Event Enrollment Wizard settings can be customized under: SETTINGS>SETUP>EVENT SETTINGS>EVENT ENROLLMENT WIZARD SETTINGS
These settings control default behaviors used during the event enrollment process.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
-
Why do I not see filtering options when selecting an event?
- The Event Enrollment Wizard does not include event filtering options. Events must be selected directly from the list or launched from a specific event.
-
Can I enroll a student into a class and an event at the same time?
- Yes, if you have the appropriate permissions. The Class Enrollment Wizard requires permission to access the CLASSES page, and the Event Enrollment Wizard requires permission to access the EVENTS page.
- If a staff member lacks permission to access either of these pages, they will not see the option to “Enroll Another” for that particular type of enrollment.
- Yes, if you have the appropriate permissions. The Class Enrollment Wizard requires permission to access the CLASSES page, and the Event Enrollment Wizard requires permission to access the EVENTS page.
-
Why is an event already selected when the wizard opens?
- When launched from a specific event or Event View, the wizard automatically selects that event for enrollment.
-
Why does the enrollment not appear immediately after adding it to the cart?
- Event enrollments are not created until checkout is completed.
