Once a class no longer accepts

NEW registrations, it should be

made inactive

This may be a job for your

Student Manager Guru!

A course that is locked does not allow

anyone to add or edit registrations. (Used

with Road Warrior)

For accounting purposes lock a course to

prevent changes. Eg: after final Audit.

Recording CEU’s, Hours, Min & Max

will pay off in the long run, making

reporting, transcripts & go/no go

decisions easier.
