Open or close a course for enrollment

In this article: How to control whether students can sign up for your course using the enrollment toggle, and what happens when you turn it off.

All Plans

When you'd use this

Opening enrollment is one of the final steps when launching a course. Once your content and pricing are set up, you flip the toggle to let students start signing up. You might close enrollment later if you're running a cohort with a fixed start date, capping registrations, or pausing the course between sessions.

Open your course for sign-ups

  1. Open your course and go to the course edit view.
  2. Look for the Sign-ups Open toggle in the upper-right corner of the menu bar.
  3. Click the toggle to turn it on.

Your course is now open for enrollment. Students can visit your sales page and sign up using any active price point.

Close your course for sign-ups

  1. Open your course and go to the course edit view.
  2. Click the Sign-ups Open toggle to turn it off.

Closing sign-ups prevents new students from enrolling. Students who are already enrolled keep their access and can continue the course as usual.

Tip: Invitations bypass the enrollment toggle. If you send someone a free invitation, they can still enroll even when sign-ups are closed. This is useful when you want to add specific people without opening the course to the public.

What your students see

When enrollment is open, students see your sales page with active price points and an enroll button. When enrollment is closed, the sales page is still visible but the enrollment options are removed, so no one can sign up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a price point before I can open enrollment?
Yes. You need at least one active price point (free or paid) before you can toggle enrollment open. See Create and manage price points to set one up.
Does closing enrollment remove existing students?
No. Closing enrollment only prevents new sign-ups. Students who are already enrolled keep full access to the course and all its content.
Can invited students still enroll when sign-ups are closed?
Yes. Invitations bypass the enrollment toggle entirely. Anyone you invite can enroll regardless of whether the course is open or closed for public sign-ups.
