Changing the Event Status or Maximum Attendees
Once you have scheduled an event, you might need to make changes later on. The types of changes you might make include:
- the maximum number of places available
For example, you can increase the number of places available if an event proves to be popular by changing the venue, or rearranging the seating at the selected venue.
Alternatively, if an event is Full, you might want to prevent any new enrollments by changing the event status to Closed. This automatically cancels any enrollments with the status Requested (that is, enrollments where the student's interest has not been confirmed or approved). You are given the choice to cancel any finance lines associated with these enrollments.
